Abstract

Fabrication of fullerene C₆₀ nanorings on a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) was carried out by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Morphological characteristics of C₆₀ were investigated using an atomic force microscope (AFM). An oxidized HOPG, on which circular etch-pits were formed, was used as the template for the fabrication of fullerene nanorings. Evaporated C₆₀ molecules were selectively adsorbed on the etch-pits edges where the pre-deposited Au islands existed. The diameter of the etch-pits for nanoring template was controlled simply by the oxidation temperature of HOPG.
