Thermal expansion and polyamorphism of N2 – C60 solutions

• The linear coefficients alpha(T) of N-2-C-60 solutions with 9.9% and 100% of the C-60 lattice thermal expansion interstitials filled with N-2 are investigated in the interval 2.2-24 K. The dependence alpha(T) has a hysteresis suggesting co-existence of two types of orientational glasses in these solutions. The features of the glasses are compared. The characteristic times of phase transformations in the solutions and reorientation of C-60 molecules are estimated.
