Abstract

The dynamic Jahn-Teller splitting of the six equivalent

D_{5 d}

polarons due to quantum fluctuations is studied in the framework of the Bogoliubov–de Gennes formalism. The tunneling-induced level splittings are determined to be

{}^{2}

T_{1 u}

\oplus^{2}

T_{2 u}

and

{}^{1}

A_{g}

\oplus^{1}

H_{g}

for

C_{60}^{1 -}

and

C_{60}^{2 -}

, respectively, which should give rise to observable effects in experiments.
