tracking down the cnt data storage system designers

I found out who first published on the using fluorine and hydrogen as a potential storage device. It is a little embarrassing because it was right under my nose the whole time. You have to let a guy know about these things sometimes. Here is the original, and I dare say famous, site where it is referenced. The original paper is:

C. W. Bauschlicher and M. Rosi, "Differentiating between hydrogen and fluorine on a diamond surface", Theor. Chem. Acta, volume 96, pages 213-216 (1997).

Now off to track this down...
