- Abstract
The molecular Aharonov-Carmi (A-C) effect is considered for C60 molecules. It is shown that the valence electrons in rapidly rotating C60 molecules acquire an A-C phase shift, which is proportional to the molecular angular velocity flux enclosed by the valence-electron matter wave on the C60 molecular shell. The energy shift of the valence electrons due to both the molecular rapid rotation and the molecular A-C phase shift is calculated.
