Superconductivity of M3C60 Within Eliashberg Theory

The important feature of the alkali-metal-doped C₆₀ is that the intramolecular high, frequency vibration modes arising from the covalent interaction and the intermolecular lowfrequency vibration modes arising from the weak Van der Wads interaction both play important roles in the properties of superconductivity. We propose a two-peak form for the phonon density of states. By solving the Eliashberg equations we get the formula for the reduced gap 2Δ₀/k_BT_c and the transition temperature T_c whidh are all in accordance with the experimental values.     

Superconductivity of Rb 3 C 60 : breakdown of the Migdal-Eliashberg theory

In this paper, through an exhaustive analysis within the Migdal-Eliashberg theory, we show the incompatibility of experimental data of Rb₃C₆₀ with the basic assumptions of the standard theory of superconductivity. For different models of the electron-phonon spectral function α ² F (Ω) we solve numerically the Eliashberg equations to find which values of the electron-phonon coupling λ, of the logarithmic phonon frequency and of the Coulomb pseudopotential μ ^* reproduce the experimental data of Rb₃C₆₀. We find that the solutions are essentially independent of the particular shape of α ² F (Ω) and that, to explain the experimental data of Rb₃C₆₀, one has to resort to extremely large couplings: λ = 3.0±0.8. This results differs from the usual partial analyses reported up to now and we claim that this value exceeds the maximum allowed λ compatible with the crystal lattice stability. Moreover, we show quantitatively that the obtained values of λ and strongly violate Migdal's theorem and consequently are incompatible with the Migdal-Eliashberg theory. One has therefore to consider the generalization of the theory of superconductivity in the nonadiabatic regime to account for the experimental properties of fullerides. Received 30 March 2001     

Superconductivity and magnetism in HoNi2B2C

The effect of magnetic ordering on superconductivity in HoNi₂B₂C is studied. It is concluded that the abrupt suppression of superconductivity in the region of incommensurate antiferromagnetic ordering is due to a modification of the wave functions of the conduction electrons by the long-range magnetic order.

Superconductivity in ThMo_2Si_2C with Mo_2C square net

We report the superconductivity of a new quaternary compound ThMo_2Si_2C, synthesized with the arc-melting technique. The compound crystallizes in a tetragonal CeCr_2Si_2C-type structure with cell parameters of a = 4.2296 ? and c = 5.3571 ?. An interlayer Si–Si covalent bonding is suggested by the atomic distance. The electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate a Pauli-paramagnetic metal with dominant electron-electron scattering in the normal-state. Bulk superconductivity at 2.2 K is demonstrated with a dimensionless specific-heat jump of ?C/γnT = 0.98. The superconducting parameters of the critical magnetic fields, coherence length, penetration depth, and superconducting energy gap are given.     

Atomic nitrogen in C60:N@C60

60 (atomic nitrogen inside C₆₀) is produced by ion implantation. Two different production methods are employed: Kaufman ion source and glow discharge. After the bombarded material is dissolved in toluene or CS₂ and is filtered, several milligrams of C₆₀ containing N@C₆₀ in a concentration of 10^-4 to 10^-5 are obtained. N@C₆₀ gives a very clear hyperfine-split electron paramagnetic resonance signal. The most prominent features of N@C₆₀ are: (i) Nitrogen in C₆₀ keeps its atomic electronic configuration and occupies the on-center position. (ii) N@C₆₀ is stable at ambient conditions, the thermal instability starts at 260 °C. (iii) The complex survives exohedral addition reactions and is a sensitive detector of cage distortions caused by addends. (iv) C₆₀ and N@C₆₀ exhibit slightly different retention times in column chromatography, thus permitting an enrichment of N@C₆₀ by this method. Received: 2 October 1997/Accepted: 16 October 1997
