This study investigates the dynamics of fullerene molecules under the influence of a strong circularly polarized laser field. By modeling the valence electrons of fullerenes, we aim to understand ionization and fragmentation patterns observed experimentally. Our goals include identifying invariant structures that dictate the unique trajectory characteristics of fullerenes in these dynamic billiard-like potentials. The findings will contribute to the understanding of molecular behavior in intense light fields, providing insights into future applications in photonics and material science.
