This review focuses on molecular ensemble junctions in which the individual molecules of a
monolayer each span two electrodes. This geometry favors quantum mechanical tunneling …

Hummelen et al. for the first time reported the synthetic route and characterization of a
soluble methanofullerene derivative in 1995. In the same year, such a fullerene derivative …

Nanostructured materials may be defined as those materials whose structural elements-
clusters, crystallites or molecules-have dimensions in the 1 to 100 nm range. The explosion …

We have used scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy to study the electronic
structure of individual C 60 molecules adsorbed onto the Au (111) and Ag (100) surfaces. C …

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are widely used to engineer the surface properties of
metals. The relatively simple and versatile chemistry of metal–thiolate bonds makes thiolate …

Fullerenes, containing five-and six-membered carbon rings, of which C60 and C70 are the
prominent members, exhibit phase transitions associated with orientational ordering. When …

The field of nanoscience was pioneered in the 1980s with the groundbreaking research on
clusters, which later led to the discovery of fullerenes. Handbook of Nanophysics: Clusters …

Two new ordered monolayer phases of C 60 on Al surfaces have been studied using
electron spectroscopies and low-energy electron diffraction (LEED). On Al (111), in addition …

The occupied and unoccupied electronic states of C 60 have been studied for single
monolayer and multilayer coverages on Au (110). Only the electronic structure of the first …

The geometric and electronic structures of C 60 adsorption on Au (111) surfaces have been
studied by low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), angle-resolved photoemission, and near …
