H. Steger et al., SINGLE-PHOTON IONIZATION OF HIGHER FULLERENES C-76, C-78 AND C-84 - DETERMINATION OF IONIZATION-POTENTIALS, Chemical physics letters, 234(4-6), 1995, pp. 455-459
The ionization of higher fullerenes by single-photon excitation with s
ynchrotron radiation has been investigated in a molecular beam experim
ent using the time of flight technique, Ionization potentials for the
higher fullerenes C-76, C-78 and C-84 have been determined from photoi
onization efficiency spectra for these molecules. The measured values
are 7.10 +/- 0.10 eV for C-76, 7.05 +/- 0.10 eV for C-78 and 7.15 +/-
0.10 eV for C-84.
