The initial stages of the adsorption of fluorinated fullerenes C 60 F 18 at the Si(111)-7 × 7, Si(001)-2 × 1, and Cu(001)-1 × 1 surfaces are studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and scanning tunneling spectroscopy in ultra-high vacuum. By combining STM imaging of individual molecules and a...
