Abstract

We present a calculation of the vibrational spectrum of the C60 cluster by means of an adiabatic bond-charge model, and results are compared with recent experimental data (IR and Raman spectra). The model and the parameter set are directly derived from a recent calculation devoted to lattice dynamics of crystalline graphite. The calculation with the four graphite-derived parameters gives a global agreement with the experimental data which is better than the one achieved by means of force field models involving a greater number of parameters. A subsequent minimum-squares fit of the parameters to the experimental data, showed that the Raman spectrum can be very well reproduced in almost all its features.
