Abstract

Evidence is provided for a new low-temperature superstructure in pure C₆₀; its structure can be described as face-centered cubic with a lattice parameter 2a₀. The superstructure is most probably the result of rotations alternatingly over +φ₁ and -φ₂ about one of the 〈111〉 axes of neighboring molecules along the cube directions. The experimental evidence is based on low-temperature electron diffraction.
