Hp. Xia et al., GEL MATERIALS FROM FULLERENE-SILANE COMPOUNDS AND THEIR OPTICAL NONLINEARITIES, Fullerene science and technology, 5(7), 1997, pp. 1423-1433
Two fullerene-silane compounds and their corresponding gels were synth
esized. The maximum molar ratio of C-60/Si in the gel can reach a valu
e of 1.6x10(-3). The optical nonlinearity of the obtained gel under pi
cosecond excitation at 1.06 mu m has been studied primarily by the Z-s
can technique.
