Abstract: | The attenuation and velocity of ultrasonic waves (at a frequency of ~4 MHz) along the 〈111〉 and 〈100〉 directions in solid C60 single-crystal samples are measured in the temperature range 100–300 K. The temperature dependences of the complete set of elastic constants for C60 fullerite are determined from the experimental data. It is shown that the specific features in the behavior of the elastic moduli near the orientational phase transition temperature are associated with different contributions of the relaxation processes to the effective elastic moduli. The activation volume and deformation potentials for the ground and excited states of the C60 low-temperature phase are evaluated from the results obtained in this work and the data available in the literature. |
