Figure 1: Typical electron occupancies for the initial state (panel N) and final states with an added (N+1) or subtracted (N − 1) electron for the case of one electron per molecule (in K1C60) and a large Ueff.
Figure 2: Image charges describing the substrate screening of the effective repulsion Ueff between two electrons on the same C60 molecule.
