Abstract

On the basis of the correlative method of the unsymmetrized self-consistent field that yields the account of the strong anharmonicity of the lattice vibrations, it has been calculated the temperature dependence of saturated vapor pressure of higher and smaller fullerites, from C36 up to the C96, and their thermodynamic properties along their sublimation curves. We have used the intermolecular potential of Girifalco with parameters recently calculated for these fullerenes. The calculations were accomplished up to the temperature of loss of stability (spinodal point) Ts. We compare our results with available experimental data, and with quantities calculated earlier for the magnitudes of the most widespread of the fullerites, the C60. The behavior of some characteristics is considered in their dependence on the number of atoms in the molecule.
