Abstract:
The temperature dependence of the surface resistivity for a metallic K(3)C(60) ordered film in the nonsuperconducting state has been obtained by reflection electron energy loss spectroscopy. We demonstrate that the normal state electronic and transport properties of the top molecular layer of K(3)C(60) are similar to the corresponding properties measured with bulk sensitive techniques. These observations strengthen and give a general character to the experimental results obtained with surface sensitive techniques on fullerene compounds. In addition, the transport properties may deviate from the Fermi-liquid behavior above 500 K.

Drift Current:
The drift of charge carriers is started by an external electric field (E). Charged particles, such as electrons and holes, experience an acceleration between collisions with lattice atoms. For electrons, this results in a drift velocity (vd) given by:
Surface Tension and Surface Energy
Consider a beaker filled with liquid. The bulk molecules in the liquid experience equal attractive forces on all sides with the surrounding molecules. However, the surface molecules experience a net attractive force downward due to the bulk molecules. The surface of the liquid behaves like a stretched membrane,...
