In 1965 Kohn and Luttinger proposed a genuine electronic mechanism for superconductivity. Despite the bare electrostatic interaction between two electrons being repulsive, in a metal electron-hole fluctuations can give rise to Friedel…
We derive a model for the highest occupied molecular orbital band of a C60 crystal which includes on-site electron-electron interactions. The form of the interactions are based on the icosahedral symmetry of the C60 molecule together with a…
A singular evolution toward an insulating phase, shown by 23Na and 13C NMR, has been observed in the superconducting fullerides (NH3)xNaK2C60 for x>1. Unlike most common cases, this insulating phase is non magnetic and 13C spin lattice…
