Low-frequency raman scattering in the orientationally disordered phase of a C60 crystal

Abstract

Low-frequency (3–120 cm−1) Raman scattering in the orientationally disordered phase and the photopolymerized state of fullerite was investigated. Experimental data suggest that, by analogy with scattering in disordered media (glasses), the low-frequency spectra can be described in terms of scattering by the localized vibrational states.
