Abstract

The Car-Parrinello method and a new analysis procedure are used to determine the full vibrational spectrum of ${\mathrm{C}}_{60}$. We evaluate the quantum effects on the structural properties of ${\mathit{C}}_{60}$ within the harmonic approximation. We find excellent agreement with the experimental pair correlation function. Zero-point-motion effects appear to be rather large.
