Popis: While long-theorized, the direct observation of multiple highly dispersive C$_{60}$ valence bands has eluded researchers for more than two decades due to a variety of intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Here we report a realization of multiple highly dispersive (330-520 meV) valence bands in pure thin film C$_{60}$ on a novel substrate--the three-dimensional topological insulator Bi$_{2}$Se$_{3}$--through the use of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and first-principles calculations. The effects of this novel substrate reducing C$_{60}$ rotational disorder are discussed. Our results provide important considerations for past and future band structure studies as well as the increasingly popular C$_{60}$ electronic device applications, especially those making use of heterostructures.
