Abstract
We discuss the microscopic origin of the Second-Harmonic Generation (SHG) resonance at hBAR omega=1.81 eV, based on spectroscopic and thickness dependent SHG measurements on C-60 thin films. We assign the three-level diagram responsible for the observed SHG resonance, and show it to be of magnetic-dipole-induced origin. Furthermore we explain the absence of almost any surface contributions, and the narrow line width of the involved HOMO-LUMO (1(1)A(g)-->1(1)T(1g)) excitation at 1.81 eV.
