Configuration-selective spectroscopic studies of Er3+ centers in ErSc2N@C80 and Er2ScN@C80 fullerenes.

Low temperature photoluminescence (PL) and photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectroscopy of high purity ErSc(2)N@C(80) and Er(2)ScN@C(80) fullerenes reveal at least two metastable configurations of the Er(3+) ion within the cage, consistent with previous observations from x-ray diffraction. Using...
