Abstract

A continuous model for molecular vibration in C60 is developed which presents a physical picture easy to understand. The molecular vibration modes are expanded by vector spherical harmonics. With the choice of suitable parameters, the calculated frequencies are fit the experimental values very well. In combination with the pseudopotential model for the valence electrons in C60, the interaction between the electron and intramolecular phonon in solid C60 can be analysed and calculated based on our model.
