Abstract

Samples of amorphous fullerites have been prepared by mechanoactivation (grinding in a ball mill), and their structure has been studied using neutron diffraction. It has been found that the amorphous fullerites subjected to high-temperature (600–1700°C) annealing undergo a polyamorphic transition from the molecular glass to the atomic glass, which is accompanied by the disappearance of fullerene halos at small scattering angles.
