Acuminated fluorescence of Er3 + centres in endohedral fullerenes through the incarceration of a carbide cluster

Photoluminescence spectroscopic measurements have allowed the acquisition of high resolution spectra at low temperature for the endohedral metallofullerenes, Er2 @ C82 (isomer I) and Er2 C2 @ C82 (isomer I). The characteristic emission in the 1.5-1.6 μm region corresponds to the 4 I13 / 2 (m) → 4 I1...
