SINGLE-PHOTON IONIZATION OF HIGHER FULLERENES C-76, C-78 AND C-84 - DETERMINATION OF IONIZATION POTENTIALS

摘要

The ionization of higher fullerenes by single-photon excitation with synchrotron radiation has been investigated in a molecular beam experiment using the time of flight technique, Ionization potentials for the higher fullerenes C-76, C-78 and C-84 have been determined from photoionization efficiency spectra for these molecules. The measured values are 7.10 +/- 0.10 eV for C-76, 7.05 +/- 0.10 eV for C-78 and 7.15 +/- 0.10 eV for C-84. [References: 20]
