Feynman path-integral Monte Carlo simulations have been performed to study finite-temperature properties of the C<sub>60</sub> molecule in a temperature range between 50 and 800 K. The interaction between the C atoms was modelled by the empirical Tersoff potential that reliably reproduces several properties of fullerenes like the binding energy and the alternation between the long and short C-C bonds. We show that the delocalization of the C nuclei is comparable to the difference between the lengths of the long and short bonds. The importance of quantum effects for the C nuclei is illustrated by comparing classical and quantum results for properties like the total energy and the radial and angular distribution functions. |
