The C60 cluster as a new form of carbon

 a,  b
a National Research Centre ‘Kurchatov Institute’, pl. akad. Kurchatova 1, Moscow, 123182, Russian Federation
b Joint Institute for High Temperatures, Russian Academy of Sciences, ul. Izhorskaya 13/19, Moscow, 127412, Russian Federation

The parameters of a cluster consisting of 60 carbon atoms are presented. Among these are structural, geometric, optical, and energy parameters. Methods of generating C$_{60}$ clusters are investigated. C$_{60}$, is considered as one of the forms of soot that is formed in flames. Properties of a crystal consisting of clusters of C$_{60}$ are analyzed. In particular, such a crystal has a density of 1.3 g/cm$^3$ and a melting point at about 500 K.
