title: Weakly interacting molecular layer of spinning C60 molecules on TiO2 (110) surfaces.
abstract: The adsorption of C(60), a typical acceptor organic molecule, on a TiO(2) (110) surface has been investigated by a multitechnique combination, including van der Waals density functional calculations. It is shown that the adsorbed molecules form a weakly interacting molecular layer, which sits on the fivefold-coordinated Ti that is confined between the prominent bridging oxygen rows (see figure).
