Abstract

Decay dynamics of free fullerene C60 and endofullerene Li@C60 molecules excited by pulsed laser radiation has been investigated using time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Special attention has been paid to the phenomenon specific for clusters and called delayed ionization. A dramatic drop in the yield of delayed C60 is found to occur at large delays (longer than 10
