First-principles calculation of the structure and elastic properties of a 3D-polymerized fullerite

Abstract: In this paper we present results obtained from first-principles calculations concerning the crystal structure and elastic properties of a three-dimensional-polymerized fullerite. The orthorhombic structure we studied was first proposed on the basis of an x-ray-diffraction analysis of samples quenched from high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. The single-crystal bulk modulus for the optimized structure is 302 GPa, and Hill's average shear modulus for the polycrystalline aggregate is 301 GPa. Our result… Show more

“…Our results are in somewhat better agreement with the data from papers [47,48], where the values of 236 GPa and 304 GPa were theoretically calculated for a superhard fullerite. The existing discrepancies are obvious because we considered the compression of individual molecules C 60 by the aluminum melt, while the authors of Refs [46][47][48] reported the elastic properties for the fullerite crystals.…”

“…This invites one to interpret the experimental results [33] that various carbon-based cagelike phases are observed to be able to scratch diamond. Such phases were identified to be 3D poly-C 60 structures [21,[33][34][35][36]. However, the bulk modulus or elastic constants of various poly-C 60 phases were calculated [21,34,36] to be significantly smaller than their diamond analogs so that the interpretation of the experimental results and their relation to hardness [37] remained elusive.…”
