Yh. Liu et al., 2ND-HARMONIC SIGNAL THROUGH THE ORIENTATIONAL PHASE-TRANSITION IN FULLERENE FILMS, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 50(7), 1994, pp. 4940-4942
Optical second-harmonic generation from a C-60 thin film was used to m
onitor the orientational phase transition. A jump in second-harmonic i
ntensity was observed around 245 K. This observation is in good agreem
ent with the results obtained from infrared and Raman spectroscopy fro
m C-60 films. The different response of C-60 films in the two phases i
s analyzed and tentatively explained.
