Abstract

Solutions of C₆₀ in toluene were investigated using Brillouin light scattering. The C₆₀molar fractions for the solutions studied ranged from 0 (pure toluene) to 36 × 10⁻⁵(2.8 mg/ml C₆₀ which is the saturation limit). The solutions were examined under a VV polarization condition and a distinct shift of the Brillouin doublets position was observed. It was found that adiabatic compressibility of the solution increases linearly as the C₆₀molar fraction increases. Comparison to recently developed models predicting excess adiabatic compressibility in binary liquid mixtures is provided.
