Abstract

In this paper, C₆₀/Ag bilayers were prepared on mica and NaCl substrates by thermal evaporation, the temperature of the substrates was kept at 300 K during the fabrication of the sample. The electrical conductance of the film was measured during C₆₀ covering. An anomalous peak of conductivity was observed when the thickness of the C₆₀ overlayer was around 1.6 nm, implying that 1-2 monolayer(s) of the C₆₀ coverlayer were "metallic". A possible mechanism is discussed.
