A. Nakajima and co‐workers report the controlled formation of metallic layers onto few‐layer organic thin films by depositing size‐selected metal nanoclusters from the gas phase. On page 1202, their results demonstrate that atomically abrupt interfaces are formed between the Ag nanoclusters and C60 films, which enable the injection of electrons and holes into the topmost layer of the C60 films. These results will contribute toward achieving high‐performance organic nanodevices.
