Abstract:
We present a first principles study of the electronic band structure of fullerene-cubane (C60C8H8) cocrystals, using density functional theory at the local density approximation level. The band structure is calculated along high symmetry lines and compared to that of the fcc fullerene. A contraction of the fullerene bands is found and is attributed to the expansion of the lattice caused by the presence of cubane. Charge transfer between the components of C60C8H8 is also calculated by Bader charge analysis. The possibility of a very small charge transfer between the cubane and the fullerene is discussed.
