Abstract:
We review the recent theoretical treatment of fullerenes as pi-conjugated 
systems.  Polaronic properties due to the Jahn-Teller type effects are mainly
discussed. (1) A Su-Schrieffer-Heeger type electron-phonon model is applied 
to fullerenes: C_60 and C_70, and is solved with the adiabatic approximation 
to phonons. When the system (C_60, C_70) is doped with one or two electrons 
(or holes), the additional charges accumulate along almost an equatorial line 
of the molecule.  The dimerization becomes the weakest along the same line.  
Two energy levels, the occupied state and the empty state, intrude largely in 
the gap.  The intrusion is larger in C_70 than in C_60.  These are ``polarons''
in doped fullerenes.  It is also found that C_60 and C_70 are related mutually 
with respect to electronical structures as well as lattice geometries. (2) We 
apply the model to the fullerene epoxide C_60O. It has the polaron-type lattice
distortion around the oxygen, and also shows the energy level intrusion in the 
gap.  (3) Optical properties of C_60 are calculated and discussed. In the 
absorption of the doped molecule, a new peak structure is present owing to the 
polaronic distortion.  In the luminescence of the neutral C_60, the spacing 
between H_g(8)-phonon side-band peaks and the relative intensities agree well 
with experiments.  In the dispersion of the third harmonic generation, the 
magnitudes of |chi^(3)| agree with those of experiments at the resonance of the
lowest allowed transition as well as in the region away from the resonance.

\section{Introduction}


Recently, the ``fullerenes" C$_N$ which have the hollow cage 
structures of carbons have been intensively investigated.  
There are several experimental indications that the doped 
fullerenes show polaronic properties due to the Jahn-Teller 
distortion, for example: (1) The electron spin resonance 
study$^{1)}$ on the radical anion of C$_{60}$ has 
revealed the small $g$-factor, $g=1.9991$, and this is 
associated with the residual orbital angular momentum due 
to the Jahn-Teller distortion. (2) Photoemission studies$^{2)}$ 
of C$_{60}$ and C$_{70}$ doped with alkali metals have shown 
peak structures, which cannot be described by a simple 
band-filling picture. (3) When poly(3-alkylthiophene) is 
doped with $\soc$,$^{3)}$ interband absorption of 
the polymer is remarkably suppressed and 
the new absorption peak evolves in the low energy range. 
The Jahn-Teller splitting of LUMO in C$_{60}^-$ state and/or 
the Coulomb attraction of positively charged polaron to 
C$_{60}^-$ might occur. (4) The luminescence of
neutral $\soc$ has been measured.$^{4)}$ There are two peaks 
around 1.5 and 1.7eV below the gap energy 1.9eV, interpreted 
by the effect of the polaron exciton. In addition, the experiments 
on the dynamics of photoexcited states have
shown the interesting roles of polarons.$^{5)}$


In this article, we first review the recent investigation of 
polaronic excitations in the C$_{60}$ and $\rug$ molecules, 
and discuss lattice distortion and reconstruction of 
electronic levels upon doping.  We have described C$_{60}$ 
and $\rug$ as an electron-phonon system and have extended 
the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model$^{6)}$ of conjugated polymers.  
We have calculated for systems where one or two electrons 
are added or removed.  We shall discuss properties of 
``polarons" in fullerenes, which have been reported 
in detail in refs. 7-9.


We have found that sites, where additional charges are prone to 
accumulate, are common to $\soc$ and $\rug$.  They are along 
the equatorial line in $\soc$. Ten more carbons are inserted 
between these sites in $\rug$.  In this regard, we should bear 
in mind that $\rug$ is made from $\soc$, by division into two parts
and adding ten carbons.  Thus, there are relations of electronical 
properties as well as the structural relation between 
(doped as well as undoped) $\soc$ and $\rug$.


Next, we review the application of the extended SSH model to the 
fullerene epoxide $\soc$O.$^{10)}$  The dimerization 
has been found to become weaker around the sites near the 
oxygen.  Two energy levels intrude largely in the gap. These
polaronic features are certainly the effects of the external 
potential given by the additional oxygen.


Finally, we look at optical properties of $\soc$.  We 
have considered optical absorption spectra of the
doped molecules,$^{9)}$ luminescence from the photo-excited 
neutral $\soc$,$^{11)}$ and the dispersion of the third harmonic
generation (THG).$^{12)}$  In the absorption of the doped $\soc$,
a new peak structure is present owing to the polaronic distortion.
In the luminescence, the spacing between $H_g(8)$-phonon side-band
peaks and the relative intensities agree well with experiments.
In the dispersion of the THG, the magnitudes of $|\chi^{(3)}|$
agree with those of experiments at the resonance of the lowest 
allowed transition as well as in the region away from the resonance.


This article is organized as follows.  In \S 2, the model is presented.
Polarons in $\soc$ and $\rug$ are discussed in the following two sections.
In \S 5, the extended SSH system is applied to the fullerene epoxide.
In \S 6, we show the optical properties.  We close this article
with brief remarks in \S 7.


\section{Model}


We use the extended SSH hamiltonian for the topological geometries
of fullerenes: $\soc$ and $\rug$.  The model is:
\beeq
H = \sum_{\langle i,j \rangle, \sigma} ( - t_0 + \alpha y_{i,j} )
( c_{i,\sigma}^\dagger c_{j,\sigma} + {\rm h.c.} ) 
+ \frac{K}{2} \sum_{\langle i,j \rangle} y_{i,j}^2,
\eneq
where $c_{i,\sigma}$ is an annhilation operator of a $\pi$-electron; the 
quantity $t_0$ is the hopping integral of the ideal undimerized system; 
$\alpha$ is the electron-phonon coupling; $y_{i,j}$ indicates the bond 
variable which measures the length change of the bond between 
the $i$- and $j$-th sites from that of the undimerized system; 
the sum is taken over nearest neighbor pairs $\langle i j \rangle$; 
the second term is the elastic energy of the lattice; and the 
quantity $K$ is the spring constant.  This model is solved with
the assumption of the adiabatic approximation and by an iteration method.


\section{Polarons in C$_{\rm 60}$}


We have taken $t_0 = 2.5$eV which has been used in the two-dimensional 
graphite plane$^{13)}$ and polyacetylene.$^{6)}$  
Two quantities, $\alpha = 6.31$eV/\AA{\ } and 
$K=49.7$eV/\AA$^2$, have been determined so that the length 
difference between the short and long bonds in $\soc$ is the 
experimentally observed value: 0.05\AA.$^{14)}$  Here, the 
dimensionless electron phonon coupling $\lambda
\equiv 2\alpha^2 / \pi K t_0$ has been taken as 0.2 as in 
polyacetylene.$^{6)}$  The number of electrons $N_{\rm el}$ 
has been varied within $-2 \leq N_{\rm c} \leq 2$, where 
$N_{\rm c} = N_{\rm el} - N$, and $N$ is the number of carbon atoms.


%Fig. 1
First, we discuss lattice and electronic structures of 
$\soc$.$^{7,9)}$  The lattice configurations of the doped 
systems are shown in Fig. 1(a) and (b).  We show three kinds 
of the shorter bonds.  The shortest bonds, d, are represented 
by the thick lines.  The second shortest ones, b, are shown 
by the usual double lines.  The dashed lines indicate the 
third shortest bonds.  They are the bonds f in Fig. 1(a) and 
bonds g in Fig. 1(b). Other longer bonds are not shown.  The
figures are the same for the electron and hole dopings.  
When the change in the number of electrons is one, the change 
in the electron density is the largest at the sites at the ends 
of dashed lines, namely, points D.  The dashed lines are mostly 
located along an equatorial line of C$_{60}$.  The absolute value of
the length of the bonds g is the smallest of the four kinds 
of bonds with negative bond variables.  The dimerization becomes 
the weakest along this equatorial line.  The distortion of the 
lattice is similar to that of a polaron$^{15)}$ in conjugated 
polymers.  When the change in the electron number is two, 
configurations of dashed lines along the equatorial line change, 
as shown in Fig. 1(b). The ordering of bonds, f and g, 
with respect to the bond variable is reversed. Other configurations 
are the same. The change in the electron density is also the largest 
at points D.  Therefore, polaronic distortion persists when
the doping proceeds from one to two electrons (or holes).  


%Fig. 2
Next, we look at changes in the electronic level structures.  
They are shown in Fig. 2.  When the system is doped, 
the degeneracy decreases due to the reduced symmetry.  
This reduction comes from the deformation of the lattice.  
This is one of the Jahn-Teller distortions.  The removal of 
the degeneracies of energy levels is due to the $H_g$ 
distortion.$^{16)}$  When $|N_{\rm c}| = 1$ and 2, the 
highest level, which splits from the highest occupied molecular
orbital (HOMO) of the neutral 
system, is nondegenerate.  Its energy shifts upward.  In contrast, 
the other two levels shift only slightly.  Similarly, the 
lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) 
of the neutral system splits into two levels.  The energy of 
the nondegenerate level shifts downward, while change of
the energy of the doubly degenerate level is small.  This change 
in the level structures is common to two cases of the electron 
and hole dopings.  The change is similar to that in the polaron 
formation$^{15)}$ in conjugated polymers.


\section{Polarons in C$_{\rm 70}$}


%Fig. 1
We describe changes in lattice structures and electron distributions 
of the doped $\rug$.$^{8,9)}$  The dimerization strengths change 
their values mostly along the ring-like part  
shown in Fig. 1(c), while the patterns with the mirror reflection 
symmetry persist.  Change in electron density at sites E is 
very small.  This is a consequence of the fact that dimerization 
almost disappears along bonds f and g. The property of the part 
along the equatorial line is similar to that of the graphite plane.  
The strengths of the dimerization change largely along bonds, 
from a to e, upon doping.  The additional charges tend to 
accumulate near these bonds.  The positions D, where the additional 
charges accumulate most densely, correspond to the sites D of 
$\soc$.   When we make $\rug$ from $\soc$, sites E are added in the 
interval, but the property, that additional charges tend to 
accumulate at sites D, persists for $\rug$.  This finding is 
quite interesting.


%Fig. 3
We discuss structures of electronic energy levels.  We show the 
changes in electronic structures in Fig. 3.  Two levels have 
already intruded in the gap in the neutral $\rug$.  This is 
due to the structural elongation from $\soc$ to $\rug$.  
When the system is doped with up to two electrons or holes, 
the HOMO and LUMO of the neutral system largely extend into the gap.  
The positions of the other levels change only slightly.  
The magnitude of level intrusion is larger than that in 
$\soc$ due to nondegenerate levels near the gap at $\nc = 0$.  
The HOMO and LUMO of the neutral system have large amplitude 
at sites, from A to D.  The amplitude at D is the largest.  
The amplitude at E is very small. Therefore, the additional 
charge is prone to accumulate most at sites D.


\section{Fullerene Epoxide}


The fullerene epoxide $\soc$O shown in Fig. 1(d) has been produced 
by a large amount.$^{17)}$  In this section, we look at the 
dimerization and energy level structures.  Details are discussed 
in ref. 10.  The oxygen atom is treated by an impurity model 
with one effective atomic level.  The following term is added to
the extended SSH model:
\beeq
H_{\rm O} = E_{\rm O} \sum_s d_s^\dagger d_s 
- t_{\rm O} \sum_s [ d_s^\dagger (c_{1,s} + c_{2,s}) + {\rm h.c.} ].
\eneq
The carbons bonding to the oxygen are numbered as 1 and 2.


%Fig. 4
We find the following properties:  The di\-merization becomes 
weaker around the oxygen as shown in Fig. 1(d).  Two localized 
states appear deep in the gap.  Figure 4 shows the data for 
$t_{\rm O} = 0.5 t_0$.  The HOMO and LUMO are shown by full 
and open circles, respectively.  The next HOMO (NHOMO) and 
next LUMO (NLUMO) are represented by the small squares 
which are connected by curves.  Other energy levels are not 
shown.  All the levels are nondegenerate. When E$_{\rm O}$ is 
varied, the energies of NHOMO and NLUMO do not change so much as
those of HOMO and LUMO.  This is the consequence of the fact 
that the wave functions of NHOMO and NLUMO spread almost 
over the $\soc$ while those of HOMO and LUMO are localized 
around the defect.  Thus, we can regard the HOMO and LUMO 
as impurity states which are well known in bulk semiconductors. 
Therefore, we conclude that the energy gap of $\soc$ itself 
is less affected by the defect while two new localized states 
are emitted into the gap due to the defect potential.  This 
property is like that of polarons but mainly due to the 
external potential from the oxygen.  We note that optical transition 
between them is allowed.  This accords with the recent optical 
absorption data.$^{18)}$


\section{Optical Properties of C$_{\rm 60}$}


For optical properties, we consider optical absorption spectra of the
doped molecules (ref. 9), luminescence from the photoexcited 
neutral $\soc$ (ref. 11), and the dispersion of the THG (ref. 12).


%Fig. 5
We show how the ``polarons'' in $\soc$ would be observed in optical 
absorption.$^{9)}$ Figure 5 shows the results of undoped and 
electron-doped systems with $0 \leq \nc \leq 2$.  We only show 
data of the electron-doped cases.  Figure 5(a) is the data 
of the undoped system.  There are two peaks in the figure.  
The peak at 2.9eV is the transition between the HOMO and the NLUMO.  
The other peak at 3.1eV is the transition between the NHOMO 
and the LUMO.  The transition between the HOMO and the LUMO 
is forbidden and does not appear in the figure.  Figures 5(b) 
and (c) show the data of the systems with $\nc = 1$ and 2, 
respectively.  The two large peaks in Fig. 5(a) now have small 
substructures due to the level splittings.  In addition, there 
appears a new peak at low energy ($\sim$0.7eV).    This peak 
corresponds to the transition between the singly occupied 
molecular orbital and the NLUMO 
etc., when $\nc = 1$.  It corresponds to the transition 
between the LUMO and the NLUMO 
etc., when $\nc = 2$.  Therefore, the new peak at low energy is 
due to the splitting of the LUMO.


%Fig. 6
Next, we consider quantum lattice fluctuations and 
discuss the phonon side bands in the luminescence spectrum.$^{11)}$  
To calculate the luminescence, we use a collective coordinate 
method$^{19)}$ which resembles the displacement of the carbon 
atoms of the $H_g$(8) phonon mode and extrapolates between the 
ground state ``dimerization" and the exciton polaron.  Wave 
functions of the singly occupied molecular orbitals of the exciton
polaron have large amplitudes at twenty sites along the equatorial line.
The coordinate describing the weakening of the 
dimerization along the equator is assigned to the twenty carbons.  
The collective coordinate Schr\"{o}dinger equation is solved 
and the luminescence is calculated by the formula used by 
Friedman and Su.$^{19)}$  It is assumed that disorders and/or 
solid state effects make the dipole-forbidden transition allowed 
partially.$^{4)}$  The result is shown by plots in Fig. 6.
The curves are the envelopes of the experimental data.$^{4,20)}$
There is good agreement for the existing luminescence
peak spacing.  This indicates that the $H_g$(8) mode frequency 
1575cm$^{-1}$ is quantitatively derived by the coordinate.
We also find fair agreement for the relative intensity.  
The difficulty in making the $\soc$ thin films and different 
experimental conditions would be the origins of the variety of 
experimental data.  Anyway, our success has revealed the  
importance of the intramolecular electron-phonon couplings in $\soc$.


%Fig. 7
Finally, we look at spectral dispersions of the THG of the 
neutral $\soc$.$^{12)}$  We display the absolute value in Fig. 7.  
In the bottom of the figure, we show the energies of the dipole 
allowed excitations, where three-photon resonances can appear, 
and also the energies of the forbidden excitations multiplied by $3/2$,
where two-photon resonances can appear.  The peaks in the THG spectrum 
can be assigned as two- or three-photon resonances.   We point out 
three properties: (1) The magnitude of $\chi^{(3)}$ at 
$\omega = 0$ is $1.22 \times 10^{-12}$esu and is similar to 
the magnitudes in the THG experiments: $4 \times 10^{-12}$esu
at $3\omega \simeq 1.6$eV (ref. 21) and $7 \times 10^{-12}$esu 
at $3\omega \simeq 3.6$eV (refs. 21 and 22). Here, we compare 
the magnitudes at frequencies far from the resonances. 
(2) The value of the THG around the peak at 2.5eV is 
of the order of $10^{-11}$esu.  This well explains the magnitude 
$2.7 \times 10^{-11}$esu at the peak centered around 2.8eV (ref. 21).  
A larger broadening in our theory would yield better agreement 
with the experiment.  We note that several authors have pointed out 
the similar property that the third harmonic generation of $\soc$ 
can be explained by the free electron theory$^{23,24)}$ or the 
calculation within the Hartree-Fock approximation.$^{25)}$ 
(3) The three-photon peaks, at $3\omega \simeq 6.1$ and 6.3eV, 
have remarkably large strengths. This large enhancement would 
be due to the fact that there are two-photon resonant $3\omega 
\simeq 6.1$, 6.4, and 6.5eV, meaning that double resonance enhancement
occurs.  Electron correlations might change this third consequence.


\section{Concluding Remarks}


We have reviewed the recent theoretical treatment of the fullerenes 
as the $\pi$-conjugated systems.  Even though the extended SSH model 
is very simple, we have derived interesting general properties 
about polaronic lattice distortions and energy level intrusions. 
There have been several origins of the polaronic changes: 
the doping of additional charges to $\soc$ and $\rug$ 
(refs. 7 and 8), the structural elongation from $\soc$ to $\rug$ (ref. 9), 
and effects of the external potential in $\soc$O (ref. 10).


Recently, several interesting optical experiments have been 
reported. The properties more or less resemble those of 
the conjugated polymers, which have been explained by the 
one-dimensional models like the SSH hamiltonian.$^{15)}$  
We have derived quantitative agreements with the luminescence 
and THG experiments.  Thus, the theoretical model of 
fullerenes as the $\pi$-conjugated systems is a powerful method
for investigating the dynamical as well as static properties.


We have neglected various effects: Coulomb interactions among 
$\pi$-electrons, thermal fluctuations of phonons, interactions 
between molecules, and so on.  They should be taken into 
account when we compare the theory with various experiments$^{1-5)}$ 
consistently.  These effects would be important when the excitation
energy is large in the dynamical processes.  They pose interesting 
problems for future works.

\noindent
Fig. 1.  Lattice structures of doped $\soc$ [(a) $| \nc |=1$ and (b)
$| \nc | = 2$], (c) neutral $\rug$, and (d) fullerene epoxide $\soc$O.

~

\noindent
Fig. 2.  Energy-level structures of $\soc$ with $-2 \leq N_{\rm c} \leq 2$.
The line length is proportional to the degeneracy of the energy level.
The shortest line is for the nondegenerate level.  The arrow shows the
position of the Fermi level.

~

\noindent
Fig. 3.  Energy-level structures of $\rug$ with $-2 \leq N_{\rm c} \leq 2$.
The notations are the same as in Fig. 2.

~

\noindent
Fig. 4.  Energy levels of $\soc$O as a function of $E_{\rm O}$.
We use $t_{\rm O} = 0.5t_0$.

~

\noindent
Fig. 5. Optical absorption of $\soc$ for (a) $\nc=0$, (b) $\nc=1$, and
(c) $\nc=2$.

~

\noindent
Fig. 6. Relative intensity of the luminescence from the photoexcited $\soc$. 
The large dots are the calculated data.  The solid curve is the 
envelope of the experimental data by Matus et al. (ref. 4)
and the dashed curve is the data by Reber et al. (ref. 20).

~

\noindent
Fig. 7.  Dispersion of third harmonic generation of the neutral $\soc$.  
The closed circles are the data by Meth et al. (ref. 21).
