Abstract

Since their discovery endohedral fullerenes have been extensively investigated because of their novel structure and properties. Electrical properties have been of major interest owing to a variety of possible applications ranging from qubits for quantum computation to organic photovoltaic devices. Our interest in this connection lies in the theoretical determination of the linear and nonlinear optical properties, i.e. the (hyper)polarizabilities, of these materials. For that purpose we have chosen initially to study the prototypical metal endohedral fullerene, Li@C\(_{60}\), and its cation \([\)Li@C\(_{60}]^+\).
