Abstract:
A metallic system without any further doping was obtained combining, in a bulk film, heterojunctions made by subsequent depositions of C60 and picene layers on Ag(111). This is caused by the formed dipole between the two molecules due to the huge difference in electron affinities and the charge transfer from the substrate. The above situation and the expected molecular geometry have also a role when the heterojunction film is doped with potassium. C60 phases diverse from those observed in bulk C60, especially, a metallic state with continuous alkali doping of the LUMO bands was found. This opens the way towards novel bulk molecular heterojunction structures that may create new electronic phases in strongly correlated molecular materials. The present case appears as the only manner known so far to form a bulk metallic KxC60 system (0
