(a) Deposition of a 0.1 layer of C 60 molecules at 110 ° K; some irregularly-shaped C 60 molecular clusters have appeared after the sample has returned to room temperature for 2 hr., and some medium-sized hexagonal clusters can be seen. (b) Medium-sized hexagonal clusters are visible after 0.2 layer of C 60 has returned to room temperature for 2 hr. (c) Relatively large and roughly hexagonally-shaped islands have appeared in a room temperature sample with heavy deposition of C 60 molecules. (d) A large island from a room temperature-deposition C 60 molecular sample-a periodic moiré pattern has appeared. The scale of figures (a), (b), and (c) is 10 nm.
