Jahn-Teller effects and surface interactions in multiply-charged fullerene anions and the effect on scanning tunneling microscopy images

We investigate the combined effects of Jahn-Teller (JT) coupling and interactions with a surface substrate on fullerene anions C$_{60}^{2-}$ to C$_{60}^{4-}$. JT coupling alone causes the C$_{60}$ ions to instantaneously distort from the icosahedral symmetry of the neutral molecule to a lower symmet...
