We have synthesised very homogeneous samples from two-dimensional intercalated fullerene polymers in the chemical compositions of Li4C60 and Na4C60. On both samples we performed Raman measurements with a He-Ne-laser from 300 K to 480 K.
In the temperature studies we analysed the temperature dependence of selected Raman active modes. The results can be compared to values from several other fullerene polymers [1]. A qualitative evaluation of the heat transport properties can be accomplished by a variation of the laser light intensity. From our analysis we deduced the temperature dependence of characteristic modes and explain differences between the materials by the unequal bonding types [2].
In our Raman studies of Li4C60 at elevated temperatures we find two different regimes. From the transition of these regions the initiation of depolymerisation can be estimated.
Raman spectroscopy is a powerful tool and we show that it can be used in an indirect and maybe uncommon way to learn more about materials.
