Abstract

We report a scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) study of potassium (K)-dopedC60(KxC60) onCu(111) andAg(111), with focus on the observation of novelK-induced superstructures. OnCu(111),K-intercalation leads to various superstructures, i.e., p(3 × 3), p(2 × 2), and a disordered "maze-like" structure. Concomitant removal ofC60-induced substrate reconstruction was also observed. OnAg(111),K-doping inducesC60reorientation and results in a p(2 × 2) superstructure. All observed superstructures suggest intrinsic inhomogeneity ofK-doping in fullerene materials, which must be further understood.
