Nanophotonics of Fullerene. 2. Linear and Non-Linear Optics
Optical response of fullerene solution is enhanced under the illumination by visible light providing enhanced Raman scattering and enhanced luminescence of both solvent and fullerene. The effect is attributed to clustering the solute molecules themselves and solute and solvent molecules together and is caused by the excitation of localized charge-transfer excitons of the fullerene nanoclusters which makes the latter act as amplifiers of local electric fields.
