x +, x=3, 4, 8) with the (0001) basal plane of highly oriented pyrolythic graphite (HOPG) in the energy range from 40 eV to 410 eV by STM and STS. A threshold behaviour is observed for cluster implantation, which is dependent on cluster size. Below this threshold the interaction is characterised by neutralisation, adsorption, and diffusion of the incoming particles. STM and STS data suggest that some of these particles are intercalated in the graphite surface. Above this threshold the clusters are implanted into the surface, resulting in a strong distortion of the substrate and cluster structure.
