Abstract
It is found that the magnetoplastic effect in C-60 single crystals in a pul sed magnetic field with induction larger than 10 T changes its sign in the vicinity of the phase transition at T-c = 250-260 K: crystal strengthening is observed for T < T-c, and softening occurs for T > T-c. This indicates a change in the crystal lattice structure in the magnetic field. (C) 2001 MA IK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
