Popis: The luminescence spectra of C60 single crystals are studied at T≅10 K and pressure up to 4.0 GPa. It is observed that as the pressure increases, one fine-structure band in the spectrum intensifies sharply and dominates at pressures P≥1.7 GPa. The pressure shift of this band is much larger than the shift of other bands in the spectrum, and its magnitude correlates with the pressure dependence of the band gap. It is shown that this band could be due to radiative recombination of free Frenkel excitons.
