Popis: Recent direct experimental observation of multiple highly-dispersive C$_{60}$ valence bands has allowed for a detailed analysis of the unique photoemission traits of these features through photon energy- and polarization-dependent measurements. Previously obscured dispersions and strong photoemission traits are now revealed by specific light polarizations. The observed intensity effects prove the locking in place of the C$_{60}$ molecules at low temperatures and the existence of an orientational order imposed by the substrate chosen. Most importantly, photon energy- and polarization-dependent effects are shown to be intimately linked with the orbital character of the C$_{60}$ band manifolds which allows for a more precise determination of the orbital character within the HOMO-2. Our observations and analysis provide important considerations for the connection between molecular and crystalline C$_{60}$ electronic structure, past and future band structure studies, and for increasingly popular C$_{60}$ electronic device applications, especially those making use of heterostructures.
