In recent years, important advances in our understanding of the pressure-temperature phase
and transformation diagram for carbon have occurred as a result of developments in both …

Amorphous phases* of materials are characterized by the lack of translational or
orientational long range order. Although one might expect that the excess entropy due to …

Carbon structures with covalent bonds connecting C60 molecules have been reported,–, but
their production methods typically result in very small amounts of sample, which restrict the …

This paper reviews the properties and phases of fullerenes and their derivatives and
compounds under high pressures. For obvious reasons most of the paper deals with C60 …

A simple model is developed to describe the intermolecular interactions in solid C 60. The
model correctly predicts the observed ground-state structure Pa3 and the first-order …

Solid C 60 forms a face-centered-cubic structure at room temperature, in which the
molecules exhibit dynamic orientational disorder. At 255 K the molecules develop …

This book review the fullerene field from the perspective of a theoretician with emphasis on
electronic structure. Topics include the theoretical methods currently used; geometry …

X-ray diffraction and diamond anvil techniques were used to measure the isothermal
compressibility of K3C60 and Rb3C60, the superconducting, binary alkali-metal …

Fullerenes, containing five-and six-membered carbon rings, of which C60 and C70 are the
prominent members, exhibit phase transitions associated with orientational ordering. When …

Solid-state cooling methods based on field-driven first-order phase transitions are often
limited by significant hysteresis and small temperature span, which increase the input work …
