Giant plasmon excitation in freeC60andC70molecules studied by photoionization

Abstract

Single-photon ionization of ${\mathrm{C}}_{60}$ and ${\mathrm{C}}_{70}$ has been studied using synchrotron radiation in an energy range from the ionization potential (7.54\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.04 eV for ${\mathrm{C}}_{60}$ 7.3\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.2 eV for ${\mathrm{C}}_{70}$) up to 35 eV. The photoion yield is dominated by a strong resonance at about 20 eV with a FWHM of \ensuremath{\sim}10 eV. We interpret this as being due to autoionization via the giant plasmon resonance recently predicted in the RPA approximation. ${\mathrm{C}}_{60}$ and ${\mathrm{C}}_{70}$ offer the unique possibility for a quantitative comparison of this collective excitation in the free molecule with that observed in the solid phase by electron-energy-loss spectroscopy at about 28 eV.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
