Abstract

The mechanical properties of single-crystal fcc C60 fullerite are investigated by sclerometry and precision contact profilometry. Quantitative estimates are obtained for the microhardness anisotropy on the (100) and (111) planes. Polarity of the mechanical properties is observed in the (111) plane. The mechanisms considered for the orientational deformation of C60 single crystals by a moving indentor confirm existing data showing that plastic deformation in solid C60 occurs along the [011] (111) systems.
