Excitonic insulators (EIs), arising in semiconductors when the electron-hole binding energy exceeds the band gap, are a solid-state prototype for bosonic phases of matter. Unlike the charged excitations that are frozen and unable to…

Although C$_{60}$ is a molecular crystal with a bandgap E$_g$ of ~2.5 eV, we show that E$_g$ is strongly affected by injected charge. In sharp contrast to the Coulomb blockade typical of quantum dots, E$_g$ is {\it reduced} by the Coulomb…
