Lattice dynamics of solid C60.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The lattice dynamics of C60 has been studied first by means of group theory and then by diagonalizing the dynamical matrix for two recently proposed intermolecular potentials. The libron and phonon energies are calculated as a function of momentum along various symmetry directions with and without phonon–libron interactions. The effects of these interactions on the density of states are also discussed. Explicit expressions for the energies of these modes at zero wave vector are given. It is found that both potential models have nearly the same phonon but a somewhat different libron spectrum. The calculated libron energies agree reasonably well with currently available experimental results.

Simulations of C60 bombardment of Si, SiC, diamond and graphite
Molecular dynamics simulations of the 20-keV C60 bombardment at normal incidence of Si, SiC, diamond and graphite targets were performed. The unique feature of these targets is that strong covalent bonds can be formed between carbon atoms from the C60 projectile and atoms in the solid material. The mesoscale energy deposition footprint (MEDF) model is used to gain physical insight into how the ...
متن کاملMotion of CO Molecules in Solid C60 Probed by Solid-State NMR
Polycrystalline C60 has been intercalated with 99 atom % 13C-enriched CO gas by using highpressure, high-temperature synthesis. The ratio of 13CO to C60 is determined using 13C NMR under magicangle spinning and is found to be almost 1:2. Static solid-state 13C NMR spectra of 13CO-intercalated C60 have been measured in the range between room temperature and 4 K. In the high-temperature range, i....
متن کاملPhysical Properties of Organic Fullerene Cocrystals
The basic facts and fundamental properties of binary fullerene cocrystals are reviewed, focusing especially on solvates and salts of Buckminsterfullerene (C60), and hydrates of hydrophilic C60 derivatives. The examined properties include the lattice structure and the presence of orientational disorder and/or rotational dynamics (of both fullerenes and cocrystallizing moieties), thermodynamic pr...
متن کاملInduced infrared absorption of molecular hydrogen in solid C
We report on the observation of induced infrared absorption in a molecular species trapped within a C60 lattice. Infrared spectra for interstitial H2 show distinct rotational and translational side-bands superimposed on the H2’s highly redshifted (54 cm ) fundamental vibrational mode. Data indicate that the hydrogen is rotating almost completely freely while at the same time undergoing localize...
متن کاملUltrafast excitation, ionization and fragmentation of C60
The C60 fullerenes are fascinating objects and even many years after their discovery the photo-physics of C60 is still full of surprises. With their well defined, highly symmetric structure the fullerenes are challenging model systems and examples of an interface between atoms or small molecules and the solid state. The 60 delocalized π electrons in the C60 fullerene give rise to interesting bu...
