Abstract
The interaction of a charged particle and a rotating fullerene molecule in a fullerite crystal is investigated. The mathematical model was constructed and implemented for fullerene rotation frequencies up to 1014 Hz and velocities of an incident charged particle of the order of 103 m s−1. The study was carried out using the methods of classical molecular physics. The characteristics of the motion of the C60 fullerene molecule were determined using the laws of classical mechanics, Euler's approach, and a step-by-step numerical method of a high order of accuracy. The influence of the action of a charged particle on the nature of the motion of a rotating fullerene was analyzed according to the results of the performed numerical experiments.
