  研究成果名稱(中)：利用原子尺度下的莫瑞干涉效應促成碳六十在矽表面上自組合成為奇異分子團
  研究成果名稱(英)：Stepwise Self-assembly of C60 Mediated by Atomic Scale Moiré Magnifier
  簡要記述(中)：利用原子或分子在晶體表面上的自組合來製造末來分子元件的一項最有潛力的科技。我們發現碳六十分子在覆蓋著金與銦的矽單晶表面上自組合成各種島狀的碳六十的分子團結構時，因為各個島與下面的矽晶體表面週期結構產生的莫瑞干涉效應而使得自組合過程變得非連續地一層一層長大。這種層狀的自組合使得某些特定形狀與大小的島顯得特別的穩定而其數量也特別的多。例如右上圖的原子模型與右下圖電子穿隧顯微照片所示，當我們讓碳六十分子在表面自組合時，一開始表面上聚集了很多不同大小的分子團，經過48小時後絕大多數的碳六十都自己組合成為一種特別穩定的六角型含37顆碳六十的奇異分子團。我們這項新發現指出了一條製造單一尺寸奈米結構的新途徑與科技。
  簡要記述(英)：Self-assembly of atoms or molecules on a crystal surface is one of the most promising methods to create future molecular devices. We report a stepwise self-assembly of C60 into islands with unusual shapes and preferred sizes on an Au-In-covered Si(111) surface. Specifically, hexagonal islands with 37 C60 (as shown by the atomic model and STM image) exhibit extraordinarily enhanced stability and abundance. The stepwise self-assembly is mediated by the moiré interference between an island with its underlying lattice. Our discovery points to a new paradigm of exploiting the moiré interference to assist the self-assembly of particles and provides a tactic of engineering atomic scale moiré-magnifier to facilitate the growth of monodispersed mesoscopic structures for future nanotechnology.
