Ultraviolet photoelectron spectra of mono metal atom encapsulated fullerenes
Ultraviolet photoelectron spectra of mono metal atom encapsulated fullerenes, M@C-82 (M = La, Gd and Sc), are measured with a synchrotron radiation light source. When the excitation energy is tuned, spectral intensity oscillation is observed in these mono metal atom encapsulated fullerenes as was in empty fullerene, C-82. Their incident photon energy dependence is essentially the same. Their spectra deeper than 5 eV are almost identical and are similar to those of empty fullerene. The noticeable difference among the spectra is in the energy region between the Fermi level and 4 eV, which reveals the degree of electron transfer from the metal atom to the fullerene cage.
