摘要
The growth mechanism of a C-60 thin him on graphite substrate has been investigated by a quantitative analysis of electron energy-loss spectra, together with low-energy electron diffraction and thermal annealing measurements. It is found that the early stages of growth at room temperature are best described through two-dimensional island ripening in a fixed structure and predominantly by a layer-by-layer fashion.
