Description

The vibrational spectrum of the C60 molecule is calculated using first-principles density-functional theory. Our approach is based on a combination of the all-electron local-density functional method with group-theoretical analysis. The calculated vibrational frequencies of the icosahedral C60 molecule are found to be in excellent agreement with the experimental data available from Raman, infrared, and neutron inelastic-scattering measurements
