C₆₀

Models[edit]

Girifalco potential[edit]

The Girifalco intermolecular pair potential is given by ^[1] (Eq. 4):

\Phi (r)=-\alpha \left[{\frac {1}{s(s-1)^{3}}}+{\frac {1}{s(s+1)^{3}}}-{\frac {2}{s^{4}}}\right]+\beta \left[{\frac {1}{s(s-1)^{9}}}+{\frac {1}{s(s+1)^{9}}}-{\frac {2}{s^{10}}}\right]

where

s={\frac {r}{2a}}

\alpha ={\frac {N^{2}A}{12(2a)^{6}}}

\beta ={\frac {N^{2}B}{90(2a)^{12}}}

where $N$ is the number of atoms on each sphere, i.e. N=60.

Approximate non-conformal potential[edit]

The Approximate non-conformal potential (ANC) for the C60 fullerene is given by (Eq 6 in ^[2]):

\Phi _{12}(z)=\epsilon \left[{\frac {1-a}{(z^{3}/S+1-1/S)^{1/3}-a}}\right]^{12}-2\epsilon \left[{\frac {1-a}{(z^{3}/S+1-1/S)^{1/3}-a}}\right]^{6}

where

$z:=r/r_{m}$
$r_{m}$ = 1.0281 nm
$a$ = 0.09574 is the hard-core diameter in units of $r_{m}$
$\epsilon$ = 3297.28 K is the well depth
$S$ = 0.4120 is a softness parameter

Phase diagram[edit]

Liquid phase[edit]

Gel phase[edit]

Simulations of the Girifalco potential indicate a possible gel composed solely of C₆₀ molecules ^[8]
