Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The thermal expansion of fullerite C60 has been measured in the temperature range 2–9 K. A compacted fullerite sample with a diameter of about 6 mm and height of 2.4 mm was used. It was found that at temperatures below ~ 3.4 K the linear thermal expansion coefficient becomes negative. At temperatures above 5 K our results are in good agreement with the available literature data. A qualitative explanation of the results is proposed

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The thermal expansion of single-crystal fullerite C60 has been studied in the range of liquid-helium temperatures (2–10 K). At temperatures below ~4.5 K the thermal expansion of fullerite C60 becomes negative, in agreement with the previous results on polycrystalline materials. A qualitative explanation of the results is proposed.

Reorientational relaxation in C60 following a pressure induced change in the pentagon/hexagon equilibrium ratio
- 1995
-
In: Physics Letters A. - : Elsevier Science B.V.. - 0375-9601 .- 1873-2429. ; 206:3-4, s. 260-264
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The orientational structure of C60 depends on pressure and temperature. Pressurization below the glass transition temperature Tg can freeze in non-equilibrium orientational structures. The relaxation of such structures on heating through Tg has been studied through thermal conductivity measurements and the effects observed are explained in a simple model.

Thermal conductivity of C60 at pressures up to 1 GPa and temperatures in the range 50-300 K
- 1996
-
In: Physical Review B. Condensed Matter and Materials Physics. - 1098-0121 .- 1550-235X. ; 54:5, s. 3093-3100

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The thermal conductivity λ of C60 shows anomalies near 260 K and 90 K which are associated with the well-established phase transition and glass transition, respectively. Both transition temperatures increase with pressure, at the rates 120 K GPa-1 and 62 K GPa-1, respectively. With increasing temperature, λ of the simple cubic (sc) phase increased below 170 K (glasslike behavior) but decreased above. The glasslike behavior of λ is probably due to a substantial amount of lattice defects. Possible reasons for the change of sign of dλ/dT near 170 K are discussed. In the face centered cubic (fcc) phase (T≳260 K at atmospheric pressure) λ was almost independent of temperature, a behavior which is far from that of an ordered crystal (λ∝T-1 for T≳Debye temperature). This result can be attributed to the molecular orientational disorder of the fcc phase. The relaxation behavior associated with the glassy state and its unusually strong dependence on thermal history are discussed briefly, and data which support a previously reported relaxation model are presented. At room temperature, the density dependencies of λ, (∂ lnλ/∂ lnρ)T, were 5.5 and 9.5 for the fcc and sc phases, which are values typical for an orientationally disordered phase and a normal crystal phase, respectively.

Compressibility and Structure of C70
- 1995
-
In: Europhysics letters. - : IOP Publishing. - 0295-5075 .- 1286-4854. ; 30:8, s. 469-474
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The compressibility of C70 has been investigated by means of direct piston and cylinder measurements in the temperature range 150 to 365 K and up to 1 GPa. At 296 and 343 K we find a very rapid change of volume with pressure below 0.15 GPa. We tentatively interpret this as a continuous molecular reorientation with pressure, probably resulting in a transformation from a mixture of face-centred cubic (f.c.c.) and rhombohedral (r.h.) phases to mainly pure r.h. phase. At 365 K as well as at 236 K and below we see no anomalies indicating any structural or rotational anomalies in the pressure range investigated. The zero-pressure bulk modulus decreases with increasing temperature, from 13.1 GPa at 185 K to 7.9 GPa at 365 K. Our volumetric measurements confirm a recently proposed phase diagram for C70.

Compressibility of C61D2 up to 1 GPa in the temperature range 175 - 345 K
- 1996
-
In: Carbon. - : Elsevier Science Ltd.. - 0008-6223 .- 1873-3891. ; 34:9, s. 1119-1121
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We have measured the bulk modulus K for C61D2 up to 1 GPa in the temperature range 175–343 K. For face-centered cubic C61D2 above 290 K, we find an anomalously low value for K below about 0.15 GPa, possibly indicating pressure-induced changes in the structure. The (extrapolated) zero-p bulk modulus K(0) decreases with increasing T from 6.7 GPa at 175 K to 5.2 GPa at 343 K. A comparison with hypothetical expanded f.c.c. C60 with the same lattice constant shows that K(0) values are similar, indicating that the main intermolecular interactions are still between molecular bellies, not the sidegroups.

C60 one- and two-dimensional polymers, dimers, and hard fullerite: Thermal expansion, anharmonicity, and kinetics of depolymerization
- 1999
-
In: Physical Review B. Condensed Matter and Materials Physics. - : American Physical Society. - 1098-0121 .- 1550-235X. ; 60:24, s. 16920-16927
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We report on high-resolution thermal expansion measurements of high-temperature-pressure treated C60 [one-dimensional (1D) and (2D) polymers and “hard fullerite”], as well as of C60 dimers and single crystal monomer C60 between 10 and 500 K. Polymerization drastically reduces the thermal expansivity from the values of monomeric C60 due to the stronger and less anharmonic covalent bonds between molecules. The expansivity of the “hard” material approaches that of diamond. The large and irreversible volume change upon depolymerization between 400 and 500 K makes it possible to study the kinetics of depolymerization, which is described excellently by a simple activated process, with activation energies of 1.9±0.1 eV (1D and 2D polymers) and 1.75±0.05 eV (dimer). Although the activation energies are very similar for the different polymers, the depolymerization rates differ by up to four orders of magnitude at a given temperature, being fastest for the dimers. Preliminary kinetic data of C70 polymers are presented as well.

NMR and Raman characterization of pressure polymerized C-60
- 1996
-
In: Chemical Physics Letters. - : Elsevier BV. - 0009-2614 .- 1873-4448. ; 258:5-6, s. 540-546
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Bulk C60 has been treated at 1.1 GPa and 550–585 K, producing a dense insoluble material which on heating to above 600 K reverts to normal C60. Raman and IR studies on modified material show a large number of new lines, and the Raman pentagon pinch mode shifts from 1469 to 1458 cm−1 as on photopolymerization. MAS NMR shows one broadened line at the original C60 shift 144 ppm and a small peak at about 77 ppm due to the bridging carbons. None of the new resonances observed for C60 polymerized by other methods were observed. The results verify previously suggested polymeric structures where the fullerence cages are connected by four-membered rings.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We have studied the structural, thermophysical, and spectroscopic properties of polymeric C60 obtained by high pressure treatment at pressures and temperatures near 1 GPa and 600 K. We present here a brief overview of our results for the structural and thermophysical properties and a more detailed report on recent results obtained by Raman spectroscopy on both thin films, polycrystalline, and single crystal material. The results presented include a comparison between Raman results for photopolymerized and pressure polymerized thin films and a preliminary estimate of the binding energy of polymeric C60.
