摘要
The orientational order is an important concept of the materials composed of large molecules or clusters. Using high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy, we have studied the orientational order of two kinds of typical low-dimensional C60 lattices: two-dimensional molecules array and C60(111) multi-layer film surface. Due to the change of the crystal field, their orientational orders are distinctly different from those in bulk system, and some unique phenomena appear.
