Abstract

C60+ fullerenes with keV energies are scattered at grazing angles of incidence from atomically clean and flat LiF(001), KCl(001), Al(001), Be(0001), Ni(110) surfaces as well as p(2 × 1) and p(3 × 1) oxygen superstructures on Ni(110). The elastic properties of C60 are derived from a comparison of experimental data with 3D molecular dynamics simulations for different interaction potentials. In terms of a simple model for the hybridization of C60 with the surface, we find evidence for a close relation between electronic structure of the surface and elasticity of C60.
