摘要
ESR has been carried out in ferromagnetic α-TDAE-C60 under uniaxial strain to study the mechanism and structure of ferromagnetism. Pressure is applied to a single crystal embedded in epoxy resin with a clamp type pressure cell. A preliminary study demonstrates that the uniaxial strain induces a change of the Curie temperature TC, which depends on the crystal axis where the uniaxial strain applied. It is suggested that these preliminary results seem to be consistent with the Kawamoto’s model (T. Kawamoto, M. Tokumoto, H. Sakamoto, K. Mizoguchi, J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 70 (2001) 1892.) based on an intermolecular cooperative Jahn–Teller distortion. Further systematic studies will make clear the mechanism of the ferromagnetism.
