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...

W recently reported 1 distance-dependent nuclear spin relaxation (1/T1) of a series ofH2@C60 derivatives covalently linked to a nitroxide radical. The results show that T1 increases with the distance between the encapsulated H2 and the radical centers (r), and the relaxivity rate constant is proportional to r . Another aspect of interest for such H2@C60 derivatives is the distance dependence of...

Making use of a generalized Green’s function technique and Landauer formalism, the temperature depended current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of C60 molecule, sandwiched between two metallic electrodes are numerically investigated. In addition, the influence of the electron-phonon coupling strength on the electronic properties of the molecule is studied. The I-V characteristics of the molecule ...

We theoretically studied the electronic and electrical properties of metallic and semiconducting peapods with encapsulated C60 (C60@CNT) as a function of the carbon nanotube (CNT) diameter. For exothermic peapods (CNT diameter > 11.8 Å), only minor changes, ascribed to a small structural deformation of the nanotube walls, were observed. These include a small electron charge transfer (less than ...

Time-resolved two-photon photoemission (TR-2PPE) spectroscopy is employed to probe the electronic states of a C60 fullerene film formed on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), acting as a model two-dimensional (2D) material for multi-layered graphene. Owing to the in-plane sp2-hybridized nature of the HOPG, the TR-2PPE spectra reveal the energetics and dynamics of photocarriers in the C60...

We present an investigation of the reaction of ozone with C60 fullerene using electronic structure methods. Motivated by recent experiments of ozone exposure to a C60 film, we have characterized stationary points in the potential energy surface for the reactions of O3 with C60 that include both the formation of primary ozonide and subsequent dissociation reactions of this intermediate that lead...

This Online Appendix to the paper titled “Progressive Learning” presents the proof of Lemma 0, an extension of our equilibrium characterization allowing for mixed strategies, an analysis of the full commitment case, and details for Example 4 showing that path dependence can arise even when shocks are ergodic.

Polycrystalline C60 has been intercalated with 99 atom % 13C-enriched CO gas by using highpressure, high-temperature synthesis. The ratio of 13CO to C60 is determined using 13C NMR under magicangle spinning and is found to be almost 1:2. Static solid-state 13C NMR spectra of 13CO-intercalated C60 have been measured in the range between room temperature and 4 K. In the high-temperature range, i....

Molecular heterojunctions, such as the one based on copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and carbon fullerene (C60) molecules, are commonly employed in organic photovoltaic cells as electron donor–acceptor pairs. We have investigated the different atomic structures and electronic and optical properties of the C60/CuPc heterojunction through first-principles calculations based on density functional theo...
