Optical and Electronic Properties of Fullerenes and Fullerene-Based Materials

This text covers a host of fullerene applications, including nanotubes, compounds of fullerenes with other elements and structures and polymerized fullerenes. It discusses properties of photoexcited states of fullerenes, neutral and charged states, nonlinear optical response (NLO) and electron-electron interactions.
