Simple-cubic three-dimensional C60 polymer

Electronic structures of three-dimensional C60 polymers studied by high-energy-resolution electron energy-loss spectroscopy based on transmission electron microscopy

“…The evaluated value in present study is comparable with the both estimations. For 3D C 60 -Fcc, the ratio were theoretically estimated to be 40 : 60 by Yamagami et al [25]. On the other hand, in the 3D C 60 -Fcc structure model by Yamanaka et al [15], the number of sp 3 bonding (fourfold-coordinated) C atoms is 24 in a C 60 cluster i.e.…”

Continuous transformations of C60crystals: polymorphs, polymers, and the ideal strength of fullerites

“…The majority of previous works have investigated C 60 polymers in their ground state, and not the transformation from FCC-C 60 to C 60 structures with inter-molecular bonds. Recent TB-based molecular dynamics simulations [39,40] described the formation of 3D C 60 polymers at very high pressures. Nevertheless, details about how 1D and 2D polymerization proceeds remain largely unclear.…”
