Self-Assembly and Ordering of C60 on the WO2/W(110) Surface
The growth and ordering of C60 molecules on the WO2/W(110) surface have been studied by low-temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM and STS), low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results indicate the growth of a well-ordered C60 layer on the WO2/W(110) surface in which the molecules form a close-packed hexagonal st...
متن کاملProbing structural phase transitions of crystalline C60 via resistivity measurements of metal film overlayers
The electrical resistance of thin silver films deposited on C60 crystals shows anomalies near 261, 240, and 100 K. These temperatures coincide, respectively, with the bulk rotational, surface rotational, and quenched disorder structural phase transitions of crystalline C60. Films of other metals on C60 show similar behavior. Our findings demonstrate that thin metal film overlayers are sensitive...
متن کاملGas adsorption on a C60 monolayer.
The adsorption geometry of various gases on top of a C60 monolayer is investigated. The potential energy experienced by an adsorbate atom in the vicinity of a C60 molecule consists of Lennard-Jones interactions integrated over the spherical surface of the molecule. The adsorption potential exhibits strongly attractive sites which lead to a commensurate phase. The next adsorption sites are assum...
متن کاملThe influence of the structure of the Au(110) surface on the ordering of a monolayer of cytochrome P450 reductase at the Au(110)/phosphate buffer interface
The reflection anisotropy spectra (RAS) observed initially from Au(110)/phosphate buffer interfaces at applied potentials of -0.652 and 0.056 V are very similar to the spectra observed from ordered Au(110) (1 × 3) and anion induced (1 × 1) surface structures respectively. These RAS profiles transform to a common profile after cycling the potential between these two values over 72 h indicating t...
متن کاملFirst-principles investigation of a monolayer of C60 on h-BN/Ni„111..
The geometric and electronic structures of a monolayer of C60 on a h-BN monolayer-covered Ni 111 surface are studied by first-principles calculations. The interaction between ions and electrons is described by the projector-augmented plane-wave method. The most stable structure of the h-BN/Ni 111 surface is found to be N on the top and B on the fcc site of Ni 111 . Upon adsorption, the structur...
