Abstract

The room temperature interaction of silver and gold with a chemisorbed C₆₀ monolayer on a reconstructed Si(111)7X7 surface was investigated using synchrotron-based photoelectron spectroscopy. While Ag formed nanoclusters on top of the fullerene monolayer, Au penetrated the C₆₀ monolayer to react with the underlying silicon. This reaction led to the formation of a Au₃Si silicide and the displacement of C₆₀ molecules.
