    Fullerite (cubic C60) exhibits compressibility similar to graphite, indicating van der Waals bonding. Its volume compressibility is significantly lower than graphite and diamond.

    Area of Science:

    • Materials Science
    • Condensed Matter Physics
    • Solid-State Chemistry

    Background:

    • Fullerite, the solid phase of C60 molecules, possesses unique structural and electronic properties.
    • Understanding the mechanical behavior of fullerite under pressure is crucial for its technological applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the compressibility of cubic fullerite at room temperature.
    • To compare the compressibility of fullerite with that of graphite and diamond.

    Main Methods:

    • Room-temperature powder X-ray diffraction was employed.
    • Hydrostatic pressures of 0 and 1.2 GPa were applied to the fullerite sample.

    Main Results:

    • The linear compressibility of fullerite's lattice parameter 'a' was found to be similar to the interlayer compressibility of graphite.

  • The volume compressibility of fullerite was determined to be 7.0 ± 1 x 10⁻¹² cm²/dyne.
  • Fullerite's volume compressibility is 3 times lower than graphite and 40 times lower than diamond.

    • Conclusions:

    • The results support the presence of van der Waals intermolecular bonding in fullerite.
    • Fullerite demonstrates significantly higher incompressibility compared to graphite and diamond.
