Lifetime Studies of Buckminster Fullerene C60 in the Region 370 nm to 421 nm Using THF (Oxolane)

Abstract

Lifetime studies of C60/Oxolane (THF) were studied in the 370 nm to 421 nm region. The average lifetime of the triplet state has been found to be 3.388956 seconds. The Chi squared probability was 0.9969191. Optical switching effect and photonic devices are suggested as applications. Figure 1: Horiba-Fluorocube-Fluorescence studies Spectrophotometer. Figure 2: Lifetimes reveals three different values indicating triplet states of C60/THF solution.
