Abstract

We have measured the thermal conductivity λ and the compressibility of highly pure C70 in the range 90 to 450 K under pressures up to 1.2 GPa. Our results for the thermal conductivity indicate molecular rotation in C70 above 280 K at zero pressure. The phase boundary for the rotationally disordered phase has an approximate slope dT/dp = 75 K GPa−1. The bulk modulus B increases linearly with increasing p above 0.1 GPa, with an extrapolated zero pressure value at 296 K of B(0) = 8.3 GPa. Unexpected anomalies are found in both B and λ near 100 MPa, and we tentatively suggest that orientational ordering is responsible.
