Keywords: fullerite C60, hydrogen doping, degassing, powder x-ray, diffusion. Introduction Fullerite C60 is still considered as a good candidate for gas separation or efficient storage of molecular hydrogen [1]. It is therefore necessary to understand the interaction of H2 with carbon nanostructures of all types and the kinet- ics of penetration of hydrogen into fullerite C60. At elevated pressure hydrogen is known to easily diffuse into the C60 lattice within two or three hours at room tempera- ture [2,3]. At present, the spectrum of an isolated hydrogen molecule trapped in an octahedral void is well known [4]. The fcc lattice of fullerite C60 contains quite large interstitial octahedral (the size of about 2.3 �) and tetrahedral (the size of about 1.1 �) voids, which, under certain conditions, al- low filling with various atoms and molecules. Hydrogen in tetrahedral sites has a higher ground state energy compared to octahedral ones. Nonetheless the tetrahedral sites appear to be important dynamically [3,5] when loading or evacuat- ing C60. Intercalation brings about noticeable changes in the structural and other physical properties of fullerite crystals [3,6–9]. The orientational system is the most sensitive to in- tercalation [8,10]: even the lattice symmetry can change upon saturation [11]. There are solid grounds for the conclusion that loading of hydrogen into C60 under not too severe conditions does not entail chemical bonding of hydrogen with the carbon atoms in buckyballs. Only at high temperatures (T > 620 K) and pressures (P > 100 bar) hydrogen actively react with C60 [12–14]. Low-temperature studies of C60 doped with CO [15], NO [16], or H2 [17] also yielded evidence that no chemical bonding was involved but a strong effect of doping on the orientational glass state occurred. The C60–H2 system was thoroughly studied using various tech- © K.A. Yagotintsev, Yu.E. Stetsenko, I.V. Legchenkova, A.I. Prokhvatilov, M.A. Strzhemechny, E. Schafler, and M. Zehetbauer, 2009 niques (see the above references and others [2,18–21]. Based on the relevant experimental findings it has been concluded that the low-temperature dynamics of H2 and D2 molecules in the fullerite lattice is of quantum nature and the high-temperature mobility of these molecules is high enough. It is commonly considered that, because of the smaller dimensions of tetrahedral cavities, the hydrogen molecules occupy predominantly octahedral voids and that their interaction with the matrix particles becomes essen- tial at sufficiently low (T � 100 K) temperatures. The aim of this paper was to carry out powder x-ray diffraction studies of the process of intercalation of C60 with normal hydrogen as well as the effect of this interca- lation on the structural and thermodynamic (rotational contribution) properties over a wide temperature interval from 10 to 296 K in order to solve a few questions. First, we planned to utilize accurate structural characteristics (reflection widths and intensities) to better understand the migration and dynamical behavior of the H2 interstitial in the C60 lattice. Second, we needed to know details of the temporal dependence of the saturation process at compar- atively low pressures in order to have reliable grounds for the assessment of the dopant concentration over the pow- der crystallite volume, which is important for the correct treatment of the ensuing photoluminescence experiments, part of which have been published elsewhere [17]. Experimental In our investigations we used a high purity (99.98% Aldrich) polycrystalline fullerite C60. Two types of powder samples were studied. Both were prepared from the same rather large-grain material: one (type I) was a result of man- ual grinding to an average grain size of about (1.8 ± 1.0) �; the other (type II) was milled to smaller grain sizes. Pre- liminary XRD characterization of type II samples showed that they were polymerized to a substantial degree, most likely because of the prolonged milling. Mild annealing of these sample removed most of the features in the XRD pat- terns but not completely. Detailed x-ray measurements re- ported below have been carried out only on type I samples. With the aim of preliminary degassing the samples were kept for five days at 200 °C in a vacuum of about 10–3 Torr. Then the sample was placed at room tempera- ture into the working chamber of a x-ray cryostat and was kept there continuously at 1 bar for a quite long time. Dur- ing the intercalation process, the powder sample was XRD characterized, the time between successive takes varying from 1 to 10 h initial stages to 100 h or more at longer intercalation times. The saturation complete, the structure characteristics of the saturated sample were studied as a function of temperature, both under cooldown and warmup. The temperature interval inclu- ded the two critical points, viz., the orientational phase transition at about 260 K and the orientational vitrifica- tion point at � 95 K. The x-ray studies were performed using an automated DRON x-ray diffractometers with a nickel anode (� = = 1.6591 �). The temperature was stabilized within the whole 11 to 300 K range to ± 0.1 K. The characteristic lat- tice parameter error was about 0.02% if the complete x-ray pattern was recorded. High-accuracy measurements of that type have been performed at 11 K and at room tem- perature. The temperature dependence of the lattice pa- rameter between these two reference points was evaluated from the positions of the three most intensive reflections (111), (220), and (311). After the completely saturated sample was finally characterized as described above, the intercalant was eva- cuated from the fullerite lattice. To this end, the chamber was pumped down to 10–3 Torr and the lattice parameter was monitored in time until it came to a constant level. During both saturation and degassing we determined the widths and intensities of the above reference reflections, which allowed us to make certain conclusions concerning the diffusion process of H2 in crystalline C60. Results and discussion Our measurements of the lattice parameter a as a func- tion of intercalation time showed that the properties of this C60–H2 system differ substantially from those found for He in C60. As C60 was kept at room temperature in the hydrogen atmosphere, its lattice parameter a grew per- ceptibly but little during the initial 200 h from 14.161 to 14.167 � and afterwards stayed virtually unchanged dur- ing a very long period of up to 2000 h to within experi- mental scatter. We also subjected an annealed type II sam- ple to the same saturation procedure. The starting lattice parameter was somewhat smaller than in the type-I sam- ple; upon saturation during about 300 h the lattice param- eter increment was below 0.002 �, which is barely above the experimental error. The smaller intercalation-related expansion of the type II sample can be due to the presence of the polymeric bonds, which are known to cause a sharp increase in the hardness and Young modulus [22]. We remind that the process of the intercalation of C60 with helium under the same conditions has two stages: during the first stage it is octahedral voids that are filled comparatively fast; the second, much slower stage corre- sponds to the filling of tetrahedral voids with He atoms. In the C60–H2 system the second stage is absent, which suggests that hydrogen molecules do not penetrate into tetrahedral voids, at least at the pressure of our experi- ment (around 1 bar). Otherwise, the lattice must have re- sponded with a much larger expansion. Since the satura- tion in the case of hydrogen was completed at room temperature and taking into consideration [5] that the mi- gration over octahedral voids proceeds through tetrahe- 316 Fizika Nizkikh Temperatur, 2009, v. 35, No. 3 K.A.Yagotintsev, Yu.E. Stetsenko, I.V. Legchenkova, A.I. Prokhvatilov, M.A. Strzhemechny, E. Schafler, and M. Zehetbauer dral cavities, it is clear that the intensive translational motion of C60 molecules at 300 K allows a hydrogen mo- lecule to occupy only momentarily a neighboring tetrahe- dral site with subsequent jump to an octahedral void. The second difference concerns the magnitude of the intercalation-related C60 lattice expansion. With He [5], the total expansion when octahedral voids are occupied to the full (at the end of stage 1) is much larger (by a factor of 3.5) compared to the case of hydrogen as intercalant. A possible explanation can be ascribed to the larger diame- ter of the H2 molecule, which deprives it freedom to move in a gas-like fashion (as a He atom does) exerting a pres- sure on the octahedral cage from within. This is more so, considering a substantially stronger interaction between C60 and H2 molecules. In Fig. 1 we show the measured time dependence of the lattice parameter increment (empty circles) normalized to the maximum increment at complete saturation; the rele- vant parameters are a0 = 14.161 � and ainf = 14.167 �. Ap- plying of the diffusion theory in the spherical geometry ap- proximation (solid curve in Fig. 1), similar to that employed [5] for He–C60 system, we estimate the charac- teristic time to be 320 h. Knowing the average grain size (about 1.8 �) we calculate the diffusion coefficient of H2 in C60 at room temperature to be D � (2.8 ± 0.8)�10–14 cm2/s, which is only 2.7 slower than for He atoms at the same conditions. The reason for that might be that as far as dif- fusion is concerned the stronger C60–H2 interaction is outbalanced by the lighter hydrogen mass. The fact that the time dependence of the full widths at half-maximum (FWHM) for the C60–H2 system (Fig. 2) does not reveal a clear maximum, like in the C60–He sys- tem, may be due to the insignificant lattice distortions in the case of hydrogen that could entail a line broadening detectable in our experiment. In Fig. 3 we show the time dependence of the inte- grated intensities of the same three reflections during the initial stages of saturation; all three lines tend to become weaker with progressing saturation. According to evalua- tions similar to those for the C60–He system [5], lines (111) and (220) were expected to weaken at complete sat- uration by roughly 4% and 5% whereas line (311) was to brighten by 6%, after which they must level off. As ex- pected, during the initial stages of saturation the inte- grated intensities of lines (111) and (200) went down by, respectively, 4.4% and 5.2%. However, like in the case of the C60–He system, the line (311) in Fig. 3 did not obey our predictions: although the intensity change was 6.3% but it diminished instead of growing. Nevertheless, these findings allow us to conclude that the saturation of pow- der was very close to complete. These inferences are at variance with the conclusions of Aleksandrovskii et al. [21] that a similar intercalation procedure results in a 12% Process of intercalation of C60 with molecular hydrogen from XRD data Fizika Nizkikh Temperatur, 2009, v. 35, No. 3 317 0 200 400 600 800 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 H in C2 60 Intercalation time, h (a – a )/ (a – a ) 0 in f 0 Fig. 1.

Variations of the integrated intensities of the three bright reflections during intercalation. occupancy. This striking discrepancy is most likely due to the capital difference in the samples studied: our sample was a loose set of separate small grains of a ten micron size whereas the sample in the low-temperature thermal expan- sion experiments [21] was a large block of compressed C60 of a few centimeters. Therefore, in the latter case the char- acteristic diffusion time must be roughly (1 cm/ 1 �)2 times longer than our value of 320 h and, thus, their estimated occupancy of 12% does not seem unrealistic. Stuffing crystalline C60 with hydrogen must affect the intermolecular interactions and thermodynamic char- acteristics. Usually, orientational transition points are sensitive to various impurities. In order to establish how intercalated hydrogen influences the processes of orientational ordering and glassification, we studied the temperature dependence of the lattice parameter of the ul- timately saturated sample from 11 to 293 K both in the cooldown and warmup regimes. These data are presented in Fig. 4 together with our results for high-purity fullerite C60 [23]. It should be noted that notwithstanding the very small saturation-related expansion the orientational phase transition is shifted appreciably (by 6 to 7 K) to lower temperatures. The very phase transition is understandable less acute than in ideal crystals owing to remaining irreg- ularities of the distribution of the hydrogen molecules over the volume of crystallites. As a result, the lattice pa- rameter jump across the transition is understandably smaller than in pure samples. At any temperature the lat- tice parameter in saturated samples exceeds that in pure C60; at room temperature the relative lattice parameter in- crease is about 4.3�10–4, which is only twice the experi- mental error. Down to 130 K no clearly detectable hysteresis is observed. At lower temperatures, close and below the orientational glassification point, a hysteresis is clearly de- tectable. This hysteresis, which is by far less pronounced than with other neutral intercalants, especially Xe [24], could be possibly due to the so called polyamorphic trans- formations [25]. We also measured the temperature dependence of the standard structure characteristics (widths and intensities) for the three bright reflections in the completely saturated sample. To speed up the procedure, only a short region where the set of closely spaced reflections (220, 222, 311) are situated, was recorded. From Fig. 5 one can see that the integrated intensities do not change appreciably (only due to changes brought about by thermal expansion); the temperature dependence is rather smooth, if not for weak phantom disturbances around the critical points. The FWHM of the same reflections (Fig. 6) do not show large anomalies. However, in the region of the transition to the orientational glass state all traces reveal a surge which suggests freezing-in of static strains in this disordered state. These strains are not related with the presence of the intercalant but appear owing to the (partial) disorder in the mutual orientations of neighboring C60 molecules. Degassing undertaken within the same procedure as in the case with He [5] (evacuation in a vacuum of 10�3 Torr at room temperature) showed that, unlike helium, hydro- gen is very reluctant to leave C60. Even after more than 50 days the lattice parameter, though having somewhat di- minished, remained above the value characteristic for pure fullerite beyond experimental error. A similar effect has been documented by Aleksandrovskii et al. [23] in dilatometry experiments. 318 Fizika Nizkikh Temperatur, 2009, v. 35, No. 3 K.A.Yagotintsev, Yu.E. Stetsenko, I.V.

Conclusions The process of loading C60 with normal hydrogen at room temperature and a pressure of 1 bar was studied by monitoring the XRD characteristics (Bragg angles as well as the intensities and widths of reflections). Our experi- mental data together with integrated intensities calcula- tions allowed us to conclude that only octahedral voids are filled under the above conditions. The characteristic hy- drogen infusion time was evaluated to be 320 h, which cor- responds to the diffusion coefficient about 3�10–14 cm2/s. The temperature dependence of the lattice parameter of a completely saturated C60 powder sample show insig- nificant changes compared to pristine C60; a 6–7 K shift of the orientational transition point to lower tempera- tures; at all temperatures the lattice parameter is slightly higher than in pure samples (at room temperature the in- tercalation-related volume expansion does not exceed 0.13%); no essential hysteresis was observed in the tem- perature range studied.
