Abstract: We present a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) study of K[sub x]C[sub 60] monolayers on Au(111) for 3 ≤ x ≤ 4. The STM spectrum evolves from one that is characteristic of a metal at x = 3 to one that is characteristic of an insulator at x = 4. This electronic transition is accompanied by a dramatic structural rearrangement of the C[sub 60] molecules. The Jahn-Teller effect, a charge-induced mechanical deformation of molecular structure, is directly visualized in the K[sub 4]C[sub 60] monolayer at the single-molecule level. These results, along with theoretical analyses, provide strong evidence that the transition from metal to insulator in K[sub X]C[sub 60] monolayers is caused by the Jahn-Teller effect.
