R. Kerkoud et al., C-13 NMR ON C60 SINGLE-CRYSTAL, Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie 2, Mecanique, physique, chimie, sciences de l'univers, sciences de la terre, 318(2), 1994, pp. 159-164
We report a C-13 NMR study performed on a C60 single crystal (8% enric
hed in C-13C) grown by sublimation. Molecular motions are tested by sp
in-lattice relaxation data and spectral shapes below and above the str
uctural transition at T(c) = 262 K The sharpness of this transition an
d the long relaxation times at low temperature, compared to previous d
ata on powdered samples, confirm the high purity of the crystal.
