Abstract
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) was used to look for unusual
self-structures on highly oriented pyrolitic graphite (HOPG) that can
mimic fullerenes assemblies. HOPG features that may be taken as C(60)
molecular structures were found on this surface. The HOPG
self-structures have been presented earlier as anomalies of the bare
HOPG surface in the literature. The experimental results are in
agreement with earlier STM reports on bare and modified HOPG. (C) 2008
