Vm. Loktev, On sign reversal of the linear thermal expansion coefficient of fullerite C-60 at helium temperatures, LOW TEMP PH, 25(10), 1999, pp. 823-825
An attempt is made to interpret the low-temperature negative thermal expans
ion of solid C-60 on the basis of an assumption concerning the freezing of
all (thermally activated) rotations and the formation of anisotropic interm
olecular potential ensuring libron vibrations of fullerene molecules in the
equilibrium position displaced relative to the isotropic potential minimum
