Calculations of Constant-Height STM Images of Fullerene C₆₀ Adsorbed onto a Surface

Figure 4

The electron densities and STM simulations for pentagon-prone C₆₀. (a) The electron densities obtained from the symmetry-adapted HMOs for HOMO, LUMO, LUMO + 1, LUMO + 2, and LUMO + 3. (b) Constant-height STM simulations of the orbitals in (a). (c) The symmetries of the components of each manifold arising from the surface interaction of symmetry.
