Polymeric alkali fullerides are stable in air
Infrared transmission, electron spin resonance, and X-ray diffraction measurements show unambiguously that RbC60 and KC60 are stable in air, in contrast to Rb6C60 which decomposes rapidly upon exposure. The specimens studied transform into pure C60 and other byproducts when heated above 100◦C, approximately the temperature of the orthorhombic-fcc phase transition. The stability of these compoun...
متن کاملOptimized unconventional superconductivity in a molecular Jahn-Teller metal
Understanding the relationship between the superconducting, the neighboring insulating, and the normal metallic state above T c is a major challenge for all unconventional superconductors. The molecular A3C60 fulleride superconductors have a parent antiferromagnetic insulator in common with the atom-based cuprates, but here, the C60 (3-) electronic structure controls the geometry and spin state...
متن کاملMetallicity in fullerides.
Metallic salts formed from fullerenes became popular because of their superconducting properties with a relatively high transition temperature, and were initially regarded as conventional metals and superconductors. Recently, owing to improved synthetic methods and a renewed interest in the study of their physical properties, many of them were found to exhibit exotic metallic and superconductin...
متن کاملExotic s-wave superconductivity in alkali-doped fullerides.
Alkali-doped fullerides (A3C60 with A = K, Rb, Cs) show a surprising phase diagram, in which a high transition-temperature (Tc) s-wave superconducting state emerges next to a Mott insulating phase as a function of the lattice spacing. This is in contrast with the common belief that Mott physics and phonon-driven s-wave superconductivity are incompatible, raising a fundamental question on the me...
متن کاملSuperconductivity in Fullerides
Experimental studies of superconductivity properties of fullerides are briefly reviewed. Theoretical calculations of the electron-phonon coupling, in particular for the intramolecular phonons, are discussed extensively. The calculations are compared with coupling constants deduced from a number of different experimental techniques. It is discussed why the A3C60 are not Mott-Hubbard insulators, ...
