Abstract

Room-temperature powder x-ray diffraction profiles have been obtained at hydrostatic pressures P = 0 and 1.2 gigapascals on the solid phase of cubic C 60 ("fullerite"). Within experimental error, the linear compressibility d (ln a )/ dP is the same as the interlayer compressibility d (ln c )/ dP of hexagonal graphite, consistent with van der Waals intermolecular bonding. The volume compressibility - d (ln V )/ dP is 7.0 ± 1 × 10 -12 square centimeter per dyne, 3 and 40 times the values for graphite and diamond, respectively.
