Magnetic Properties of Undoped $C_{60}$

Condensed Matter 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

The Heisenberg antiferromagnet, which arises from the large UU Hubbard model, is investigated on the C60C_{60} molecule and other fullerenes. The connectivity of C60C_{60} leads to an exotic classical ground state with nontrivial topology. We argue that there is no phase transition in the Hubbard model as a function of U/tU/t, and thus the large UU solution is relevant for the physical case of intermediate coupling. The system undergoes a first order metamagnetic phase transition. We also consider the S=1/2 case using perturbation theory. Experimental tests are suggested.
