β¦ Synopsis
Vibrational Raman studies on Cse up to 18.0 GPa and between 4 and 360 K are presented. No significant changes are observed up to IO GPa; mode-Grthteisen parameters are calculated. The low pressure, temperature-dependent Raman spectrum shows a sharp shift in peak position and width at 240 K. This is near the point were C6c molecules are reported to begin rotating freely. The data can be explained in terms of rotational-vibrattonal coupling. Comparison of high pressure and low temperature data suggests the formation of a rotational glass at high pressures.

## Abstract Highβpressure Raman spectra of fullerite, a solid form of C~60~, were measured at pressures up to 4 GPa and room temperature. A change of slope (d__v__/d__P__) of the frequencyβpressure plots for the __A__~g~ pentagonal pinch mode and the __A__~g~ breathing mode was observed at 1.3 GPa,
