Depolarized light scattering in small fullerene clusters—computer simulation

We have performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of small fullerene clusters (C60)n (n=5, 7, 10, 20) and calculated their interaction-induced polarizability anisotropy correlation functions and spectra of the depolarized light scattering. The calculated correlation functions and spectra depend on the number n of fullerenes in the liquid phase of (C60)n cluster. Moreover, the separate two-, three- and four-body contributions to the total polarizability anisotropy correlation function have been calculated and the strong cancellation effect of positive two- and four- body with negative three-body contributions is observed.
