Fullerenes are known to be polarizable due to the strained carbon-carbon bonds and high surface curvature. Electronic polarization of fullerenes is of steady practical importance, since it leads to non-additive interactions and, therefore,…
The interactions between atoms and molecules may be described by a potential energy function of the nuclear coordinates. Non-bonded interactions are dominated by repulsive forces at short range and attractive dispersion forces at long…
Nonlinear optical properties in the fullerene C$_{60}$ and the extracted higher fullerenes -- C$_{70}$, C$_{76}$, C$_{78}$, and C$_{84}$ -- are theoretically investigated by using the exciton formalism and the sum-over-states method. We…
We discuss contact-interaction searches in the processes e^+e^-\to \mu^+\mu^-, b\bar{b} and c\bar{c} at an e^+e^- Linear Collider with c.m. energy \sqrt{s}=0.5 TeV and with longitudinally polarized beams. The measurement of polarized cross…
Although C$_{60}$ is a molecular crystal with a bandgap E$_g$ of ~2.5 eV, we show that E$_g$ is strongly affected by injected charge. In sharp contrast to the Coulomb blockade typical of quantum dots, E$_g$ is {\it reduced} by the Coulomb…
The pi electrons of isolated fullerene anions C60^{n-} (n betwen 1 and 6) are a quite unique finite system of electrons with an attractive interaction due to exchange of intramolecular phonons. This interaction may overwhelm Hund's rule and…
