Abstract

The results of experimental studies of special features of fullerite C60 structural transformations at high pressures and temperatures are discussed. It has been found that under the action of a pressure of ∼ 7.0 GPa and a temperature of 2000–2200 K on fullerite graphite forms and with the liquid phase present diamond forms.
