In the present work the conductivity of fullerene C60 crystals has been measured under smooth shock wave quasi-isentropic loading conditions up to 30 GPa at initial temperature T=293 K. Not monotone behavior of conductivity has been revealed under compression of crystal with pressure increasing: -at first conductivity grows by many orders then it falls very fast. Conductivity increasing is explained by decreasing of bandgap of C60 under compression whereas conductivity decreasing can be explained on the assumption that the ssenergy barrier of polymerization ofC 60 reduces with pressure increasing approximately in the same measure, as band-gap energy. © 2007 Springer.
