Abstract
The energy-dependant cross sections of the impact-excited intramolecular vibrations in an epitaxial C60(111) film have been measured by High Resolution Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (HREELS). A Negative Ion Resonance (NIR) behaviour is evidenced by a dramatic cross-section enhancement at a primary energy of ∼2.9 eV together with some fine structures on the high energy side. Through comparison with experimental results on the unoccupied states and on the electronic excitations of solid C60, these NIR structures can be correlated to a temporary trapping of the probing electron in the LUMO+3-derived state in the framework of an 'electronic excitation associated' NIR process. © 1995.
