Abstract

In situ Raman scattering, UPS and HREELS measurements have been used to study the fcc to orthorhombic phase transition in RbC60 thin films. Large changes in the Raman spectra are interpreted in terms of increased interfullerene coupling in the orthorhombic phase. However, the data do not support the proposed polymer model for this phase. Photoemission measurements indicate only small differences in the electronic states between the two phases in contrast with photopolymerized C60 where additional states are observed. Low energy metallic-like excitations and screening of intramolecular vibrations are observed in HREELS.
