Abstract

The electron emission properties of a single C/sub 60/ molecule supported on a W field-emission tip are reported. Using standard models, values for the size, effective work function, and desorption temperature of C/sub 60/ were obtained. Energy distributions of electrons emitted from C/sub 60/ exhibit a narrow two-peaked spectrum and indicate a splitting of the highest occupied molecular-orbital level. (46 References).
