Withdrawal of Electrodynamical Forbiddance and Peculiarities of the SERS Spectra in Fullerene C70

详细

It is demonstrated that in fullerene C₇₀, which can be considered as a deformed fullerene C₆₀ in some mean sense there is a withdrawal of an Electrodynamical forbiddance of a strong quadrupole light-molecule interaction, which is realized in the fullerene C₆₀. This situation occurs because of the reduction of symmetry of C₆₀ from the icosahedral symmetry group Y_h to the group D_5h. The withdrawal results in appearance of the lines in the SERS spectra of C₆₀, which are forbidden in usual Raman scattering and are active in the infrared absorption spectra. The experimentally measured SERS spectra of C₇₀ demonstrates existence of such lines that strongly confirms our ideas about the dipole-quadrupole SERS mechanism.
