- In search of structural phase transformations, the electrical resistances of the alkali metal-intercalated fullerene compounds Li4C60, Na4C60, and Rb4C60 have been measured as functions of temperature and pressure. The compounds have different lattice structures, and in the first two, the fullerene molecules form two-dimensional covalently bonded polymer lattices. No phase changes could be identified over the ranges 100-400 K and 0-2 GPa. All materials are semiconducting under the conditions studied, and we see no strong dependence of the band gaps on pressure.

- Raman spectra of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with diameters of 0.6–1.3 nm have been studied under high pressure. A “plateau” in the pressure dependence of the G-band frequencies was observed in all experiments, both with and without pressure transmission medium. Near the onset of the G-band plateau, the corresponding radial breathing mode (RBM) lines become very weak. A strong broadening of the full width at half maximum of the RBMs just before the onset of the G-band plateau suggests that a structural transition starts in the SWNTs. Raman spectra from SWNTs released from different pressures also indicate that a significant structural transition occurs during the G-band plateau process. Simulations of the structural changes and the corresponding Raman modes of a nanotube under compression show a behavior similar to the experimental observations. Based on the experimental results and the theoretical simulation, a detailed model is suggested for the structural transition of SWNTs, corresponding to the experimentally obtained Raman results in the high-pressure domain.
