摘要: Abstract We propose a new class of Graphite Intercalation Compounds (GICs) containing C 60 and alkali metals. The compound 32 K 4 is predicted attempts to synthesize it using 8 precursor benzene-dissolved are reported. samples exposed benzene display reproducible resistive transition at 19.5K indicative superconductivity. alone show no for T > 4.2 . Possible origins the superconductivity discussed.
