Your pattern seems a bit off.  I'm guessing you mean:
1, x, y, x^2, x y, y^2, x^3, x^2 y, x y^2, y^3

In this case, you can define your F like so:

biRow[n_] := Table[x^(n - k)*y^k, {k, 0, n}];
Clear[F];
m = 0;
Do[F[++m] = binom,
  {binom, Flatten[Table[biRow[n], {n, 0, 3}]]}];

Then, you can define your matrix via:
M = Table[F[i]*F[j], {i, 1, m}, {j, 1, m}];

I'm guessing these matrices all have rank 1.
Thus, you can find the only non-zero eigenvalue
via:
Eigenvalues[M] // Last
