Abstract
An orientational ordering transition was observed near 260 K from a C70 film in a temperature-dependent Raman study. The 1183 cm-1 Raman band shows a rather dramatic change in both frequency and bandwidth over the range of 220-280 K. The low-frequency Raman band at 260 cm-1 disappears, and at its expense, a new band emerges at 266 cm-1 as the temperature is decreased. The relatively smooth transition in temperature is attributed to the stacking disorder in molecular packing and the nonuniform orientational conformation of C70 solid.
