Improved Second Harmonic Generation from Langmuir-Blodgett Films of an Azacrown Ether Fullerene Derivative
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 February 2011
Abstract
The amphiphilic fullerene derivative (1-aza-18-crown-6)-hydrofullerene-60 (C60-1A18C6, 1) exhibits improved Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) film forming properties and the resulting LB films exhibit a nonlinear second order susceptibility, X(2)pp of 3.2 pm/V, the highest yet reported for a fullerene or fullerene derivative.

(18) Freshly prepared solutions were used in order to prepare the LB films since the isotherms obtained from solutions made up one or more days in advance were different from those obtained from freshly made solutions. They contained an additional transition region probably indicating the presence of other species in the solution, namely oxidation products.Google Scholar
