Abstract

The primary stages of photoinduced processes in tin-doped C60 fullerene films have been studied using a femtosecond pump-probe technique with 150-fs laser excitation pulses (λ = 400 nm) and differential transmission and reflection probing in the 1100–1700 nm range. The relaxation dynamics strongly depends both on the metal-to-fullerene ratio in the film and on the mutual distribution (packing) of components in the nanocomposite material. The observed response signal dynamics is related to features in the charge carrier generation, energy transfer between fullerene molecules, and charge transport between metal and fullerene.
