Abstract :
Gas-phase C84 is resonantly excited using infrared (IR) radiation from a free electron laser. At specific wavelengths, strong ion signals are observed, resulting from thermionic emission of electrons by the fullerenes. The mass-selected ion yield is recorded as a function of IR frequency and the resulting spectrum yields information on the electronic ground state of the gas-phase molecule.
