FTIR and Raman Spectroscopy Study of Soot Deposits Produced in the Infrared Multiphoton Dissociation of Vinyl Bromide by B. Samoudi, O. Bendaou, I. Hanafi, A. Asselman, K. Haboubi

“…The solid deposit formed in the IRMPD of VBr when a relatively high fluence of the order of 204 J.cm−2 was analyzed by FTIR, and it was discovered that the majority of its composition is aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons. Significant fullerene-type carbonaceous soot particles are also found, which could correspond to C60 and C70 or other carbonaceous agglomerates of a higher order; however, the disappearance of this fullerene on Raman spectra cast doubt on this explanation. …”

Squaraine Planar-Heterojunction Solar Cells by Bin Fan, Ylenia Maniglio, Marina Simeunovic, Simon Kuster, Thomas Geiger, Roland Hany, Frank Nüesch

“…Two squaraine derivatives with extraordinarily high extinction coefficients are used as electron donors in bilayer heterojunctions with fullerene C60 as electron acceptor. Due to the very strong squaraine absorption band in the red spectral domain, antibatic behavior due to light filtering is observed in the photocurrent spectrum for film thicknesses of 35 nm to 40 nm. …”
