Initial Stage of the Adsorption of Fluorofullerene Molecules on Si Surface

TLDR
In this article, an image of an individual C60F18 fluorofullerene molecule on Si(100) − 2 × 1 surface has been obtained using scanning tunneling microscopy.
Abstract
Spatially resolved images of an individual C60F18 fluorofullerene molecule on Si(100) − 2 × 1 surface have been obtained using scanning tunneling microscopy. Scanning tunneling microscopy results and ab initio calculations show that the fluorofullerene molecules interact with the Si(100) − 2 × 1 surface with F atoms pointing down towards the surface. The adsorption energy of a C60F18 molecule on Si(100) − 2 × 1 surface is ∼12.1 eV, which is much higher than the adsorption energy of the same molecule on Si(111) − 7 × 7 surface (6.65 eV). C60F18 molecules are located in the troughs in-between the dimer rows occupying the four-dimer site on Si(100) − 2 × 1 surface.

Real-time decay of fluorinated fullerene molecules on Cu(001) surface controlled by initial coverage

TL;DR: In this paper, the evolution of C60F18 molecules on a Cu(001) surface was studied by means of scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory calculations, and the results showed that fluorinated fullerenes (tortoise-shaped polar C 60F18) decay on Cu(1) surfaces by a step-by-step detachment of F atoms from the C60 cage.

Projector augmented-wave method

TL;DR: An approach for electronic structure calculations is described that generalizes both the pseudopotential method and the linear augmented-plane-wave (LAPW) method in a natural way and can be used to treat first-row and transition-metal elements with affordable effort and provides access to the full wave function.
