摘要
Threshold photodetachment of cold C60- has been investigated with a tunable dye laser from 2.55 to 2.80eV. The cold C60- was produced through laser vaporization of a purified C60 target with a specially designed nozzle. The threshold behavior of the detachment cross section as a function of energy was found to be well described by Wigner's threshold law plus a dominating polarization term. The electron affinity of C60 was measured to be 2.650 +/- 0.050 eV. Two unique effects, which are characteristic of bulk materials, were observed in this nano-sized molecule, i.e. the thermionic emission and the inelastic electron-"phonon" scattering effects, with the former strongly dependent on the laser fluences and the later on both the internal temperature of C60-and the photoelectron kinetic energy.
