A combined Monte Carlo and Hückel theory simulation of orientational ordering in C60 assemblies

Orientational ordering of C60 molecules within monolayer and multilayer islands is a regularly observed phenomenon in scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) studies. Here we simulate the orientational ordering seen in STM images via a novel combination of Monte Carlo and Hückel theory methods and comp...
