Gas adsorption on a C60 monolayer.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 assumed on the basis of the symmetries of the triangular C60 array. The competition between different adsorption phases is solved by energy minimization. The onset pressure of each phase is computed and compared with experimental data for Kr on top of a C60 monolayer.

First-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...
متن کاملMolecular self-assembly of functionalized fullerenes on a metal surface.
We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of the self-assembly of C60 molecules functionalized with long alkane chains on the (111) surface of silver. We find that the conformation of the functionalized C60 changes upon adsorption on Ag(111) and that the unit cell size in the self-assembled monolayer is determined by the interactions between the functional groups. We show that C6...

C60-terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) were generated on the surface of Au(111) by the adsorption of unsymmetrical disul®des having saturated hydrocarbon backbone structures comprised of six (C-6) and eleven (C-11) carbon atoms. The formation of oriented monolayer ®lms from these adsorbates was con®rmed by ellipsometric thickness and contact angle measurements. The morphologies and fri...
متن کاملAdsorption of gas molecules on monolayer MoS2 and effect of applied electric field
: Using first-principles calculations, we investigate the adsorption of various gas molecules (H2, O2, H2O, NH3, NO, NO2, and CO) on monolayer MoS2. The most stable adsorption configuration, adsorption energy, and charge transfer are obtained. It is shown that all the molecules are weakly adsorbed on the monolayer MoS2 surface and act as charge acceptors for the monolayer, except NH3 which is f...

We report on the electronic and magnetic characterization of the hybrid interface constituted of C60 molecules and an epitaxial Fe3O4(001) surface grown on GaAs(001). Using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD), we demonstrate that a stable C60 sub-monolayer (ML) can be retained on the Fe3O4(001) surface upon in situ annealing at 250 C. A carbon K-edge...
