Abstract
The adsorption of a C-60 monolayer on a graphite substrate was modelled via molecular dynamics simulation covering a significant period of 160 picosec onds. The final configuration of C(60)s agrees closely with that observed i n a scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) experiment. Clusters of adsorbed m olecules were then selected and their STM-like images were computed via the Keldysh Green function method.
