Abstract

When an electron is transferred to C60, the electron-lattice interaction results in a distortion of the bond structure and a polaronlike state is formed. By solving the dynamical equations of molecules in a C60 cage, the time-dependent changes of the bond lengths are obtained. We find that the relaxation time to form a polaron is about 0.3 ps, and is consistent with the experimental results. The implication of this ultrafast evolution, with comparison to the soliton-antisoliton mechanism, is discussed.
