Electrical properties of 3D-polymeric crystalline and disordered C60 and C70 fullerites.

• Crystalline and disordered 3D-polymeric C60 and C70 with different lattice parameters and with densities in the range of 2.2÷3.25 g cm−1 were obtained by high-pressure-high-temperature treatment at P=11.5÷15 GPa, T=670÷1800 K. Their d.c. electrical conductivity was investigated at temperatures 30÷350 K. The variable range hopping mechanism dominates in all samples up to room temperature. A temperature activated conductivity via delocalized states was observed at T>160÷260 K in crystalline C60 samples and in some samples with disordered structure. The evaluated band gap value is Eg=0.28÷0.54 eV for different crystalline structures and 0.06÷0.25 eV for disordered ones
