Abstract

For fullerite C60 with intercalated oxygen, a sharp (by three orders of magnitude) increase in the intensity of the EPR signal with a g-factor of 2.0024 was observed at ∼200°C. Studies of gases formed in heating of the sample in a vacuum showed that molecular oxygen was largely released at temperatures below 100°C, whereas the gas phase formed as the temperature increased to 200°C contained carbon oxides CO and CO2 in addition to oxygen. The conclusion was drawn that the intensity of the EPR signal was determined by the products of oxygen interaction with fullerene rather than the concentration of oxygen in the sample.
