R. Mitsumoto et al., SOFT-X-RAY ABSORPTION-SPECTRA OF FULLERENES - CORE-EXCITONIC EFFECTS AND XANES SPECTRA OF C-76 AND C60FX, Physica. B, Condensed matter, 209(1-4), 1995, pp. 543-544
The X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectra of C-76 and f
lourinated C-60 (C60Fx) were measured. By comparing XANES and inverse
photoemission spectra for various pi-electron systems, the deviation o
f XANES from density of unoccupied states (DOUS) by core-excitonic eff
ect was shown to decrease with increasing size and dimensionality. The
deviation is not so large for fullerenes, and the spectrum of C-76 wa
s compared with calculated DOUS. The change of bonding and electronic
structure from C-60 to C60Fx is also discussed based on the XANES spec
tra.
