Abstract
The comparison of the electronic structures of fcc C60 solids between two different molecular orientations as been done by performing a band structure calculation. We have found that the molecular orientation c auses considerable changes on the degeneracies at GAMMA points, the di spersion of bands and the location of valence band maximum and conduct ion band minimum. The band variation upon molecular orientation should become an important subject in physics and materials science of the n ew class of solid fullerenes.
