7 C 60 Fullerenes Structure: (icosahedral symmetry) : 1,000,000,000 ~1 m ~10 Å 60 carbon atoms. (20 hexagons, 12 pentagons)
8 Bacground Before... Significant effort was devoted to studies of the interplay between Single Electron Tunneling (SET) effects and quantum size effects in isolated nanoparticles. The interplay was studied for: E l << E c (Tinkham, Van-Kempen, Sivan, Molenkamp) C 60 spectroscopy was done mainly by optical means, limited by selection rules.
9 Background What was new here? Extremely small QD (~8 Å) Quantum Size effects even at RT. Interplay between SET and discrete levels in two regimes: E c < E l E c > E l Tunneling spectroscopy of isolated C 60 Electronic level splitting.

13 SET Effects in DBTJ I I-V curves CB V Q D R 1,C 1 R 2,C 2 STM tip Tunnel Junction 1 Tunnel Junction 2 I T (V) CS SET effects can be observed If: 1) E C = e 2 /2C > k B T Charging Energy > Thermal Energy 2) R T > R Q = h/e 2 Tunneling Resistance > Quantum Resistance Coulomb Blockade (CB): I T = 0 up to V t e/2c ; V t depends on fractional charge Q 0 Coulomb Staircase (CS): Sequence of steps in I-V. Each step - adding an electron to the island V
14 Charge Quantization Leads to SET Effects Charge quantization leads to SET effects: V t depends on fractional charge Q 0. Q 0 represents any offset potentials. Q = ne - Q 0 ; Q 0 e/2 E Q 0 = Q(e) 2 E c Q 0 = e/2-1 E 0 1 Q(e) V t = e/2c V t = 0 2 Allowed states with n access electrons indicated on the graphs
15 Origin of the Fractional Charge Q 0 Difference in contact potentials across the junctions: Q 0 = (C 1 φ 1 -C 2 φ 2 )/e Note: We are interested only in Q 0 mod e. Q 0 can be varied by controlling C 1 through tipsample separation. This is done by changing the STM current and bias settings.
16 Interplay Between SET Effects and Discrete Energy Levels E L << E C : (Level Spacing << Charging Energy) e No levels E c E L << E C 1 2 (Amman et al.) Additional sub-steps on top of a CS step
17 Interplay Between SET Effects and Discrete Energy Levels E L ~ E C : (Level Spacing ~ Charging Energy) CS steps are no more equidistantly spaced. zero bias gap is not suppressed for Q 0 = e/2 when the CB is suppressed. Pronounced asymmetry of I-V curves due to different levels on each side.

21 Local Fields (Sarid et. al.) Different electric fields (carbon field, STM tip) effect the molecular orbitals differently (Stark effect).
22 Molecule Orientation (Guntherodt et. al.) Tunneling channel (depending on the molecule orientation) effects the level splitting.

D i (E), E i - DOS/Fermi energy at electrode i. D d (E), E d - DOS/Fermi energy at the dot. T i (E) - Tunneling matrix element.
25 Theoretical Fits (Orthodox theory-averin & Likharev) We choose the density of states D d (E): The tunneling current is: + I(V) = e P(n)[Γ2 (n) Γ2 (n)] = e P(n)[Γ1 (n) Γ1 + (n)] P(n) The probability to find n electrons on the dot

33 Summary - C 60 STM Spectroscopy A C 60 molecule is an ideal quantum dot for studies of single electron tunneling and quantum size effects. The interplay between SET effects and molecular levels is clearly observed at 4.2 K as well as at RT for the double barrier tunnel junction configuration. The degeneracy of the HOMO, LUMO and LUMO+1 levels was fully resolved, and the degree of splitting is consistent with the J-T effect.
