Photoexcitation of a Volume Plasmon in C60 Ions

چکیده
0031-9007= Neutral C60 is well known to exhibit a giant resonance in its photon absorption spectrum near 20 eV. This is associated with a surface plasmon, where delocalized electrons oscillate as a whole relative to the ionic cage. Absolute photoionization cross-section measurements for C 60, C 2 60 , and C 3 60 ions in the 17– 75 eV energy range show an additional resonance near 40 eV. Time-dependent density functional calculations confirm the collective nature of this feature, which is characterized as a dipole-excited volume plasmon made possible by the special fullerene geometry.

Comment on "photoexcitation of a volume plasmon in C60 ions".
Neutral C60 is well known to exhibit a giant resonance in its photon absorption spectrum near 20 eV. This is associated with a surface plasmon, where delocalized electrons oscillate as a whole relative to the ionic cage. Absolute photoionization cross-section measurements for C+60, C2+60, and C3+60 ions in the 17-75 eV energy range show an additional resonance near 40 eV. Time-dependent density...
متن کاملCharge separation and catalytic activity of Ag@TiO2 core-shell composite clusters under UV-irradiation.
Photocatalytic properties of Ag@TiO2 composite clusters have been investigated using steady state and laser pulse excitations. Photoexcitation of TiO2 shell results in accumulation of the electrons in the Ag core as evidenced from the shift in the surface plasmon band from 460 to 420 nm. The stored electrons are discharged when an electron acceptor such as O2, thionine, or C60 is introduced int...
متن کاملCross sections for ionization and fragmentation of C60 by fast H+ impact
Absolute cross sections have been measured for the first time for H+-impact ionization and fragmentation of C60 at proton energies ranging from 0.2 to 2.0 MeV. The cross sections were in fairly good agreement with other electron-impact data in the high-velocity region, indicating that the charge transfer is negligible in the present energy range. Theoretical cross sections for plasmon excitatio...
متن کاملCoupling of Surface and Volume Dipole Oscillations in C60 Molecules
We first give a short review of the “local-current approximation” (LCA), derived from a general variation principle, which serves as a semiclassical description of strongly collective excitations in finite fermion systems starting from their quantum-mechanical meanfield ground state. We illustrate it for the example of coupled translational and compressional dipole excitations in metal clusters...
متن کاملComparing signal amplification of thiocyanated Gold nanoparticles in the presence of different ions
Detecting is the most important section in all kinds of sensors. In this regard, the amplification of surface plasmon resonance intensity of gold colloids nanoparticles (GNPs) was studied in the presence of several ions. GNPs were synthesized and then capped by thiocyanate and characterized via DLS and TEM image. In the next step the effect of different concentrations of ions such as iron, copp...
