Abstract

The thermodynamic properties, the stability and the endohedral complex formation of the C36 molecule are studied by means of molecular dynamics simulations. At temperature ∼ 3000 K, the C36 is undergoing the transition from solid-like phase to liquid-like phase. The C36 can rebound without dissociation in the case of the collision of C36 with a graphite (0001) surface. The endohedral cavity of the C36 chemistry is large enough to contain an atom or small molecule similar to the C60 cage. Changes in the endohedral insertion mechanism with projectile size are discussed.
