Abstract

The influence of laser irradiation on the photoluminescence spectra of perfect C60 crystals in the orientationally disordered phase is investigated. It is shown that irradiation of the crystals with low-power light for short durations at T=200 K produces radical changes in the luminescence spectrum. The pressure dependences of the spectral bands of the phototransformed and initial (without irradiation) spectra differ significantly, indicating a photoinduced structural transformation of the X centers responsible for the luminescence of C60. The phototransformed C60 crystals are stable against further exposure to light irradiation and pressure.
