Abstract:

Adsorption of C-60 onto Si(111)root 3 x root 3-In surface presents a fascinating example of interplay between molecular adsorbate and surface structural defects. It has been found that adsorbing C-60 molecules are trapped by the substitutional Si-defects. In turn, the group of a few adsorbed C-60 can act as a trap for the mobile vacancies of the root 3 x root 3-In reconstruction. Namely, adsorbed C-60 induces a strain in the indium layer, and when a mobile vacancy happens to get into the surface area surrounded by fullerenes, the In atoms between the C-60 and the vacancy shift from the T-4 to the H-3 sites, fixing a vacancy in a given location.
