摘要
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) was used to look for unusual self-structures on highly oriented pyrolitic graphite (HOPG) that can mimic fullerenes assemblies. HOPG features that may be taken as C(60) molecular structures were found on this surface. The HOPG self-structures have been presented earlier as anomalies of the bare HOPG surface in the literature. The experimental results are in agreement with earlier STM reports on bare and modified HOPG. (C) 2008 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
