Abstract

By using the femtosecond optically heterodyned optical Kerr effect at 647.0 nm we have measured the magnitudes and signs of the real components of third-order nonlinearity of organometallic compounds films of C₆₀M₂ fabricated through a series of reactions of C₆₀ anions with some inorganic compound in solution phase and physical jet deposition technique. We find there is an enhancement of the real components of third-order optical nonlinearities of C₆₀M₂ films compared to that of pristine C₆₀ film, which can be attributed to the charge transfer from metal atoms to C₆₀ molecules. The signs of the real components of third-order optical nonlinearity of C₆₀ and C_{60$M(subscript 2} films are negative. We also find the disposition temperature will affect third-order optical nonlinearities of C₆₀M₂ films.
