Abstract

The bulk modulus for the C60 molecule is calculated using total energy minimization via the tight binding method. The calculated bulk modulus is 717 GPa, which is about 1.6 times larger than that of bulk diamond due to the high symmetry of the C60 molecule; a possible explanation is given. This result is compared to a simple estimation from elasticity theory. Electronic structures and vibrational frequencies are also compared to theoretical and experimental results.
