Abstract

The relaxation contribution of the molecular reorientation in an elastic field of an acoustic wave to the effective shear moduli is calculated in the framework of the phenomenological two-level model of orientational states in the low-temperature phase of solid C60. The polarity of the rotation axis of C60 molecules and the possible existence of orientational domains in the structure of the low-temperature phase are taken into consideration. The estimates obtained are compared with the available experimental data.
