I. Akimoto et al., PHOTOLUMINESCENCE FROM FLUORINATED FULLERENE C60FX (X-LESS-THAN-OR-EQUAL-TO-48) THIN-FILMS, Journal of luminescence, 72-4, 1997, pp. 503-504
Fluorinated fullerenes C60Fx (x less than or equal to 48) are attracti
ve compounds of a novel wide-band-gap insulator with high symmetric ca
rbon-based molecules. We present results of absorption, luminescence a
nd excitation spectra obtained for films of highly fluorinated fullere
nes C60Fx (x = 42). We confirm that the absorption is maximized around
6.4 eV and broad luminescence bands appear around 2.4 and 3.3 eV.
