Abstract

Glued to gold: A simple approach based on i) the “glue” model for gold, ii) an empirical force field for C60, and iii) the charge equilibration plus the Born–Mayer potential for their interaction shows that the two experimentally detected structures for C60 on Au(110) are competitive from 100 K. The model (see picture) further shows the different nature of the Au–Au and Au–C60 interactions inside the two unit cells, which should make one structure prevail over the other as a function of the experimental conditions.
