要旨

Copper underpotential deposition (Cu UPD) and STM studies have been carried out on fullerene (C60) modified Au single crystal surfaces to determine the influence of crystal orientation on the structure of adsorbed C60 overlayers. High coverage could be achieved for C60 on all the surfaces studied, Au(111), Au(332) and Au(554). In each case, hexagonal and/or quasi-hexagonal arrays of adsorbed C60 were formed, with distortion from the ideal hexagonal packing arising from the constrained width of the terraces of the stepped surfaces. The structural parameters of the C60 overlayers were found to be sensitive to the terrace width.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
