Abstract

C60 molecules, in diffraction terms, is a quite novel object- covered by scattering points large sphere (D≅0.5acub). The peculiarities of the diffraction distribution and its variation near the order-disorder phase transition are defined from the buckybal's molecular form-factor, fmol. The comparison of calculated diffraction distributions and experimental data proved advantage of the C60 “jump rotation” model at middle and high temperatures.
