It is an established paradigm in the emerging fields of nanoscience, nanotechnology and
molecular engineering that a very important domain of fundamental research is associated …

The tantalum-encapsulating Si16 cage nanocluster superatom (Ta@ Si16) has been a
promising candidate for a building block of nanocluster-based functional materials. Its …

The initial growth stage of C 60 thin film on graphite substrate has been investigated by
scanning tunneling microscopy in ultrahigh vacuum at room temperature. The C 60 layer …

Morphologies of adsorbed molecular films are of interest in a wide range of applications. To
study the epitaxial growth of these systems in computer simulations requires access to long …

The magnetic and electronic properties of thin C60 films (film thickness⩾ 4ML) grown by
sublimation in vacuum on oxidized Si, Au, highly oriented pyrolytic graphite and glass, and …

Experiments on both single-crystal graphite and highly oriented pyrolytic graphite indicate
that for 60< T< 300 K, C 60 forms single-layer islands of close-packed molecules at low …

Highly ordered C60 layers prepared on mica and HOPG (highly ordered pyrolytic graphite)
substrates by physical vapour deposition were nanostructured by different electrochemical …

The epitaxial growth of metallic thin films has been studied intensively, leading to
computational models that can predict diverse morphologies depending on thermodynamic …

Graphite surfaces interact weakly with molecules compared to other conducting surfaces,
bringing the molecule–molecule interaction to the foreground. C 60 on highly oriented …

Crystalline monolayers of fullerene have been self-assembled at the interface between a 1,
2, 4-trichlorobenzene solution and an Au (111) surface. In situ scanning tunneling …
