The discovery of a ferromagnetic form of carbon [T.L. Makarova et al., Nature 413 (2001) 716] gives a new perspective in the investigation of magnetic materials. The existence of a ferromagnetic state with the very high Curie temperature TC ≈ 500 K for a material with only s- and p-electrons as well as the nature of its underlying interaction are of great fundamental interest. Here we report on the observation of the ferromagnetically ordered state in a material obtained by high-pressure high-temperature treatment of the fullerene C60. It has a saturation magnetization more than four times larger than that reported previously. From our data we estimated the considerably higher value of TC ≈ 820 K.
