Abstract

High-resolution vibrational spectroscopy of fullerene thin films is achieved by sum-frequency generation and infrared absorption. The $A_{g} (2)$ mode of $C_{60}$ gains strong infrared activity when the molecule is adsorbed on Ag(111). K doping allows us to demonstrate the process of adsorbate/substrate dynamical charge transfer, by showing, for the first time, the quenching of the mode softening and infrared activity upon tuning of the admolecule electronic properties. These observations enable the quantitative evaluation of the coupling strength of the $A_{g} (2)$ vibration to the $t_{1 u}$ orbital of $C_{60}$ .
