Raman Studies of Alkali-Metal Doped AxC60 Films (A = Na, K, Rb, and Cs; x = 0, 3, and 6).
The room temperature Raman spectra of the intramolecular modes between 100 cm(-1) and 2000 cm(-1) are reported for alkali-metal doped AxC(60) films. For A = K, Rb, and Cs, phase separation is observed with the spectra of C(60), K(3)C(60), K(6)C(60), Rb(3)C(60), Rb(6)C(60), and Cs(6)C(60) phases reported. The x = 3 phases show only three Raman active modes: two of Ag symmetry and only the lowest frequency Hg mode. The other Hg modes regain intensity in the x = 6 films, with several mode splittings observed. For A = Na, such phase separation is not clearly observed, and reduced mode shifts are interpreted as due to incomplete charge transfer in these films.
