| dc.description.abstract | C60 buckminsterfullerene exhibits a large ultrafast third-order nonlinear optical response. Degenerate four-wave-mixing
measurements in C60-benzene solutions were
performed using
50-psec pulses at
l.064Itm.The magnitude of the nonlinear susceptibility per C60 molecule is
\y\=1.5x1O-42 m5 V-2 andof the same size as that observed in polydiacetylene. In contrast to conjugated polymers, however,a dominant positive real part of the nonlinearity is found,
3 times larger than the imaginary component.
The nonlinear response can be described within the model of a free electron in a
spherical box, confirming the complete
delocalization of electrons on the
C60 molecule | en |
