Abstract
When an electron is transferred to C60, the bond structure is distorte d due to the electron-lattice interaction and a polaron-like state is formed. The evolution process of the bond distortion is studied by the dynamical equation of atomic lattice, and time-dependent changes of t he bond lengths are determined. Then it can be estimated that the rela xation time to form the polaron-like state is a fraction of a picoseco nd.
