Optical Absorption in Higher Fullerenes: Effects of Symmetry Reduction
نویسنده
چکیده
Optical absorption spectra of higher fullerenes (C70 and C76) as well as of C60 are calculated by a tight binding model with a long range Coulomb interaction. A reasonable parameter set gives calculated spectra which are in overall agreement with the experiments of of C60 and C70 in solutions. The variations of the spectral shape are discussed relating with the symmetry reduction going from C60 and C70 to C76: the optical gap decreases and the spectra have more small structures in the dependences on the excitation energy.

Photophysical Properties in C60 and Higher Fullerenes
The optical excitations in C60 and higher fullerenes, including isomers of C76, C78, and C84, are theoretically investigated. We use a tight binding model with long-range Coulomb interactions, treated by the Hartree-Fock and configuration-interaction methods. We find that the optical excitations in the energy region smaller than about 4 eV have most of their amplitudes at the pentagons. The osc...

Fullerene chemistry is nowadays a well-established field of both theoretical and experimental investigations. This study considers the symmetry of small fullerenes cage C24 and C28. Using PM3 program for C24 and C28 fullerenes, Oh and Td symmetry were confirmed, respectively. The mentioned algorithm to compute the automorphism group of these fullerenes with connectivity and geometry of th...
متن کاملOptical-absorption spectra in fullerenes C60 and C70: Effects of Coulomb interactions, lattice fluctuations, and anisotropy.
(Received) ABSTRACT Effects of Coulomb interactions and lattice fluctuations in the optical absorption spectra of C 60 and C 70 are theoretically investigated by using a tight binding model with long-range Coulomb interaction and bond disorder. Anisotropy effects in C 70 are also considered. Optical spectra are calculated by using the Hartree-Fock approximation followed by the configuration int...
