Abstract
A model of an atomic impurity in an octahedral void of fullerite C60 is suggested. The problem is solved in the spherical oscillator approximation, which is appropriate for the larger rare gas atoms. It is shown that such impurities can contribute to the negative thermal expansion at low temperatures and produce a Schottky-like maximum at higher temperatures.
