In this article, field ion-scanning tunneling microscopy was employed to study the monolayer and multilayer adsorption behaviors of the C60 fullerene on the Si(100)2×1 surface.Abstract:
Field ion-scanning tunneling microscopy was employed to study the monolayer and multilayer adsorption behaviors of the C60 fullerene on the Si(100)2×1 surface. The C60 molecules reside stably in the trough at room temperature without rotation, encompassing the 8 neighbouring dimer-forming surface Si atoms with the nearest neighbour distance of 12 A. For the first and second layers, only local ordering of square and quasi-hexagonal patterns was observed. The orderly Stranski-Krastanov mode island formation with the hexagonal packing was observed above the third layer with its lattice constant of 10.4 A.read more

Modelling the nano-scale phenomena in condensed matter physics via computer-based numerical simulations
TL;DR: A review of the atomistic modelling of nano-scale structures and processes via molecular dynamics (MD) simulation method of a canonical ensemble is presented in this paper, focusing on the adhesive and indentation properties of the solid surfaces in nano-contacts, the nucleation and growth of nanophase metallic and semi-conducting atomic and molecular films on supporting substrates, and the nano- and multi-scale crack propagation properties of metallic lattices.

The infrared and ultraviolet absorption spectra of laboratory-produced carbon dust: evidence for the presence of the C60 molecule
TL;DR: In carbon smoke samples prepared from vaporized graphite at elevated quenching gas pressures (e.g. > 100 Torr He) new absorption features have been observed in the infrared (the strongest at 1429, 1183, 577, and 528 cm −1 ).
