FERROMAGNETIC TDAE-C60 VERSUS PARAMAGNETIC TDAE-C70: FARADEY BALANCE AND ESR STUDY

Abstract
Magnetic properties of C 60 and C 70 complexes with tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethylene (TDAE) have been studied based on the measurements of the Faraday-balance magnetization and the electron spin resonance (ESR). It has been found that both TDAE- C 60 and TDAE- C 70 possess about one radical spin per fullerene molecule. TDAE- C 60 has been confirmed to show ferromagnetic-type transition at Tc=16.7–17.5 K . Appearance of a new broad and intense ESR signal below Tc of TDAE- C 60 suggests that the radical spins in the magnetically ordered state rather localize on each C 60 molecule and are ferromagnetically correlated. On the other hand, TDAE- C 70 does not show ferromagnetism in all the temperature range down to 4.5K.
