Scanning tunneling spectroscopy of endohedrally doped fullerenes — •Ingo Wirth, Rainer Klingeler, Gunther Kann, Stefan Eisebitt, Paul Siegfried Bechthold, Matthias Neeb, and Wolfgang Eberhardt — Forschungszentrum Jülich, Institut für Festkörperforschung, 52425 Jülich, Germany

C60 and endohedrally doped fullerenes (Ce@C60 and La@C60) are isolated by mass selection of a cluster ion beam and deposited on HOPG [1]. A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is used to locate the fullerenes and to study their band gaps. We find that Ce@C60 and La@C60 have considerably smaller band gaps than pristine C60 [2]. For La@C60 even metallic behaviour and a zero band gap is observed at room temperature. The differences in the electronic properties of Ce@C60 and La@C60 might arise from a different filling of the t1u-derived orbital whose degenerancy is lifted under the Jahn-Teller effect.
