Electron-Phonon Interactions in C$_{28}$-derived Molecular Solids
Abstract
We present {\it ab initio} density-functional calculations of molecular solids formed from C-derived closed-shell fullerenes. Solid CH is found to bind weakly and exhibits many of the electronic structure features of solid C with an enhanced electron-phonon interaction potential. We show that chemical doping of this structure is feasible, albeit more restrictive than its C counterpart, with an estimated superconducting transition temperature exceeding those of the alkali-doped C solids.
