Direct optical excitation of a fullerene-incarcerated metal ion

The endohedral fullerene Er3N@C80 shows characteristic 1.5 μm photoluminescence at cryogenic temperatures associated with radiative relaxation from the crystal-field split Er3+ 4I13/2 manifold to the 4I15/2 manifold. Previous observations of this luminescence were carried out by photoexcitation of t...
