The discovery in 1991 of high temperature superconductivity (SC) in A3C60 compounds, where A is an alkali ion, has been initially ascribed to a BCS mechanism, with a weak incidence of electron correlations. However various experimental…
Former extensive studies of superconductivity in the \textit{A}$_{3}$C$_{60}$ compounds, where \textit{A} is an alkali, have led to consider that Bardeen Cooper Schrieffer (BCS) electron-phonon pairing prevails in those compounds, though…
Cs$_3$C$_{60}$ in the A15 structure is an antiferromagnet at ambient pressure in contrast with other superconducting trivalent fullerides. Superconductivity is recovered under pressure and reaches the highest critical temperature of the…
Alkali-doped fullerides (A3C60 with A=K, Rb, Cs) show a surprising phase diagram, in which a high transition-temperature (Tc) s-wave superconducting state emerges next to a Mott insulating phase as a function of the lattice spacing. This is…
Cs3C60 is a correlated superconductor under pressure, but an insulator under ambient conditions. The mechanism causing this insulating behavior is the combination of Mott localization and the dynamic Jahn-Teller effect. We show evidence…
Alkali-doped fullerides A3C60 (A=K, Rb, Cs) are surprising materials where conventional phonon-mediated superconductivity and unconventional Mott physics meet, leading to a remarkable phase diagram as a function of the volume per C60…
The trivalent alkali fullerides A$_3$C$_{60}$, where C$_{60}$ are a well established family of molecular superconductors. The electron pairing has s-wave symmetry and is due to standard electron-phonon coupling, in particular by Jahn-Teller…
We report an NMR and magnetometry study on the expanded intercalated fulleride Cs_3C_60 in both its A15 and face centered cubic structures. NMR allowed us to evidence that both exhibit a first-order Mott transition to a superconducting (SC)…
We review some theoretical aspects connected with the interplay of strong electron correlations and vibron phenomena in negative fullerene ions and in solid fulleride conductors, superconductors and insulators. The first part covers…
The alkali-doped fullerides A$_3$C$_{60}$ are half-filled three-orbital Hubbard systems which exhibit an unconventional superconducting phase next to a Mott insulator. While the pairing is understood to arise from an effectively negative…
Through 13C NMR spin lattice relaxation (T1) measurements in cubic Na2C60, we detect a gap in its electronic excitations, similar to that observed in tetragonal A4C60. This establishes that Jahn-Teller distortions (JTD) and strong…
Alkali-doped fullerides A$_n$C$_{60}$ show a remarkably wide range of electronic phases in function of A= Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs and the degree of doping, $n=1-5$. While the presence of strong electron correlations is well established, recent…
Electronic correlation is believed to play an important role in exotic phenomena such as insulator-metal transition, colossal magneto resistance and high temperature superconductivity in correlated electron systems. Recently, it has been…
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…
In this communication we report the interplay of the normal electron-phonon (EP) interaction, dynamic Jahn-Teller (DJT) distortion and superconductivity in high temperature superconductors in presence of a static lattice strain. This model…
Over the past 20 years, fullerides have been studied as the source of high-transition-temperature (Tc) superconductivity except for copper oxides. The recent finding of the Mott insulating state right beside superconductivity in Cs3C60 has…
Buckminsterfullerene compounds exibit remarkable physics at low temperatures, e.g. high temperature superconductivity in alkali-fullerenes, and ferromagnetism in TDAE -C60. Here we review recent theoretical studies of electron correlations…
We present a systematic study for understanding the relation between electronic correlation and superconductivity in C60 and aromatic compounds. We derived, from first principles, extended Hubbard models for twelve compounds; fcc K3C60,…
The co-existence of band Jahn-Teller (BJT) effect with superconductivity (SC) is studied for correlated systems, with orbitally degenerate bands using a simple model. The Hubbard model for a doubly degenerate orbital with the on-site…
We present here ^{13}C and ^{133}Cs NMR spin lattice relaxation T_{1} data in the A15 and fcc-Cs_{3}C_{60} phases for increasing hydrostatic pressure through the transition at p_{c} from a Mott insulator to a superconductor. We evidence…
