- Description:
- Synopsis Here we investigate through the electron elastic total cross sections (TCSs) calculations the variation of the electron affinity (EA) with the fullerene size from C44 to C136 and contrast their EAs with that of C60. The TCSs are found to be characterized generally by ground, metastable and excited anionic formation during the collisions. The extracted ground state anionic binding energies for C44, C74, C100, C124 and C136 are 3.25eV, 4.03eV, 3.67eV, 3.06 eV and 3.75eV, respectively. These corresponding to the fullerenes EAs demonstrate their wide variation.
