摘要: Shielding diamagnetism and X-ray powder diffraction were used to characterize alkali-metal fullerides of sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium. The superconducting phase in both the potassium rubidium systems has composition A3C60 a face centered cubic structure with alkali metal filling all octahedral tetrahedral sites close packed C60, layers. High pressure magnetic susceptibility measurements on K3C60 showed negative dependence transition temperature −0.78 K/kbar. No evidence for superconductivity was observed either sodium or cesium systems, even though Na3C60 appears isostructural Rb3C60.
