Excited-state Dynamics of Fullerene Nanoparticles Dispersed in Pure Water
Femtosecond transient absorption dynamics of C-60 nanoparticles in pure water revealed a strong quenching of the singlet excited state, independent of the excitation light intensity on a 10-ps time scale, and an extremely low yield of the triplet state of C-60 nanoparticles upon photoexcitation.
