Rj. Tarento et P. Joyes, SIZE DEPENDENCE OF THE ELECTRONIC AND MAGNETIC-PROPERTIES OF FULLERENES (C-60-C-240), Zeitschrift fur Physik. D, Atoms, molecules and clusters, 37(2), 1996, pp. 165-167
We use the Gutzwiller method for studying various characteristic energ
ies of fullerences in the free state (first and second ionization ener
gy, electron affinity and singlet and triplet excitation energies). Th
e stability of spin density wave (SDW) in fullerene has been investiga
ted. The critical value of (U/beta) (U intraatomic correlation energy,
beta transfer energy to stabilize SDW) is equal to 3 in C-60 and 4.25
in C-240 (icosahedrally symmetric C-240).
