Abstract

Mixtures of krypton atoms and C60, modelled in terms of rigid spherical molecules, are investigated at T ≃ 1800K through classical Molecular Dynamics. The two species do not tend to mix for low to moderate concentrations of krypton, and solid clusters of C60 tend to be stable. Possible implications of these results are shortly discussed.
