Abstract:
The energy spectrum of C$_{82}$ fullerene (isomer no. 3 of $C_2$ symmetry) is calculated within the Hubbard model in the approximation of static fluctuations. Based on the energy spectrum, optical absorption spectra of this isomer in neutral and anionic states with one, two, three, and four additional electrons are simulated. The calculated optical spectra in neutral and monoanionic states are compared with known experimental spectra.
