Electronic Transport, Structure, and Energetics of Endohedral Gd@C82 Metallofullerenes

Electronic structure and transport properties of the fullerene C82 and the metallofullerene Gd@C82 are investigated with density functional theory and the Landauer−Büttiker formalism. The ground-state structure of Gd@C82 is found to have the Gd atom below the C−C bond on the C2 molecular axis of C82...

description Electronic structure and transport properties of the fullerene C82 and the metallofullerene Gd@C82 are investigated with density functional theory and the Landauer−Büttiker formalism. The ground-state structure of Gd@C82 is found to have the Gd atom below the C−C bond on the C2 molecular axis of C82. Insertion of Gd into C82 deforms the carbon chain in the vicinity of the Gd atoms. Significant overlap of the electron distribution is found between Gd and the C82 cage, with the transferred Gd electron density localized mainly on the nearest carbon atoms. This charge localization reduces some of the conducting channels for the transport, causing a reduction in the conductivity of the Gd@C82 species relative to the empty C82 molecule. The electron transport across the metallofullerene is found to be insensitive to the spin state of the Gd atom.
