Aharonov-Carmi effect and energy shift of valency electrons in rotating C_{60} molecules
Abstract
It is shown that the valency electrons in rapidly rotating C_{60} molecules acquire an Aharonov-Carmi (A-C) phase shift, which is proportional to the molecular angular velocity flux enclosed by the matter wave of valency electrons on the C_{60} molecular shell. The energy shift of the valency electrons due to both the molecular rapid rotation and the molecular A-C phase shift is calculated.
