ORDERED C-60

Abstract: We correlate the presence or absence of high-order modulated
structures in solid C60 with the differential scanning
calorimetry signature of the orientational ordering
transition and other diagnostic data. We have searched for,
but not observed, the 2a face-centered cubic structure
recently observed in low-temperature electron and single-
crystal x-ray diffraction. We conclude that the intrinsic
ground state is the previously reported simple cubic structure
(space group Pa3BAR, a(14 K) = 14.06 angstrom), and that
other structures may be stabilized by defects or impurities.
