Radiative Cooling of C60
- 1. Institute of Physics and Astronomy, University of Aarhus, DK-8000 Aarhus C (Denmark)
Description
We have studied the radiative cooling of negatively charged fullerene ions by following the thermionic emission as a function of time after injection into the heavy-ion storage ring ASTRID. It is argued that electron emission can be used as a calibrated thermometer to measure the cooling rate. For C60- at ∼1500 K the cooling corresponds to a radiation intensity of ∼190 eV/s, which is 2 orders of magnitude more than expected from infrared active vibrations. copyright 1996 The American Physical Society
