Realizing nearly-free-electron like conduction band in a molecular film through mediating intermolecular van der Waals interactions

Fullerenes are promising organic semiconducting materials for electronic applications, but of low conductivity due to limited intermolecular hybridization. Cui et al. show a black phosphorous substrate organizes C60 monolayers to form delocalized semiconducting band with tens times enhanced conducti...

Description
Summary:Fullerenes are promising organic semiconducting materials for electronic applications, but of low conductivity due to limited intermolecular hybridization. Cui et al. show a black phosphorous substrate organizes C60 monolayers to form delocalized semiconducting band with tens times enhanced conductivity.
