Abstract
We report our recent study of the electronic and geometric structure o f Sc-encapsulated fullerenes (metallofullerenes) ScC74, Sc2C74, and Sc 2C84 adsorption on the Si(100)2 X 1 surface with field ion scanning tu nneling microscopy. A comparison with the pristine C60 and C84 confirm ed the assumption that the Sc atoms are encapsulated inside the carbon cage. The charge transfer from the Sc atoms to the carbon cage is evi denced. The presented results also show that these metallofullerenes d o not prefer to form dimers or trimers.
