Abstract
The polarizability of fullerene molecules in the gas phase was measure d experimentally at a wavelength of 540 nm. The measurements have been carried out in a free molecular flow of fullerene by the use of Rayle igh light scattering. The absolute number density of fullerene has bee n measured by a quartz balance. The value of the polarizability proved to be 10(-21) cm3, that is an order of magnitude greater than the one calculated by Fowler, Lazaretti and Zanasi.
