Growth and characterization of fullerene nanocrystals on NaCl/Au(111)

Wolf-Dieter Schneider, François Patthey, Marina Pivetta, Elizabeta Cavar, Frédéric Rossel

The growth of fullerene nanocrystals, composed of only C-60, only C-70, or a mixture of both fullerenes, has been investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The nanocrystals, formed on a NaCl ultrathin layer partially covering a Au(111) surface, ...

Plasmon enhanced luminescence from fullerene molecules excited by local electron tunneling

Frédéric Rossel

This thesis reports on the optical properties of fullerene molecules forming nanoscale crystals grown on ultrathin NaCl films on Au(111) investigated by Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM)-induced light emission spectroscopy. In this regard, an existing op ...

Plasmon enhanced luminescence from fullerene molecules excited by local electron tunneling

Wolf-Dieter Schneider, François Patthey, Marina Pivetta, Frédéric Rossel

Tunneling electrons from a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) induce luminescence from C-60 and C-70 molecules forming fullerene nanocrystals grown on ultrathin NaCl films on Au(111). Intramolecular. uorescence and phosphorescence associated with the tran ...

Modified herringbone reconstruction on Au(111) induced by self-assembled Azure A islands

Wolf-Dieter Schneider, François Patthey, Frédéric Rossel

Upon submonolayer deposition of Azure A molecules onto reconstructed Au(1 1 1), two-dimensional quasi-rectangular islands are observed by low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy. Strikingly, the 22 x root 3 reconstruction with alternating hexagonal c ...
