Physical properties of two-dimensionally polymerized C60

• Preliminary data are reported for the thermal expansion, compressibility, and specific heat of two-dimensionally polymerized C60 obtained by treating fullerene samples at temperatures above 800 K under a pressure of 2 GPa. The samples have also been characterized by Raman spectroscopy and inelastic neutron scattering. The measured data for the thermophysical properties are strongly modified by the creation of strong covalent intermolecular bonds and we show that the results are compatible with the predictions of simple theories.
