Abstract
ABSTRACTHigh resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy has been used to investigate the vibrational and electronic excitations of single-phase, crystalline AxC60 films. Substantial changes in intramolecular mode frequencies and intensities with alkali concentration arise from charge transfer effects as well as free carrier screening. For x=4, splitting of the t1u band is observed, resulting in an insulating phase with an estimated gap of 0.3-0.4eV. Screening in the x=3 phase results in enhanced surface sensitivity and deviations from bulk stoichiometry at the surface of metallic films are observed.
