Ma. Ivanov et al., PECULARITIES IN THE ELECTRON-STRUCTURE OF WEAKLY DOPED FULLERITES AXC60 (X-MUCH-LESS-THAN-1), Solid state communications, 91(4), 1994, pp. 325-330
The spectrum of lowest states of the impurity complex made up of alkal
i metal atoms in octa- and tetra-interstices of the fullerite and the
nearest fullerene molecules is investigated. It is shown that the grou
nd state of the complex in both cases is orbitally degenerated, and th
e low-temperature and resonance properties just reveal the peculiarity
of the degenerated centre. The effects to be produced by a possible n
on-central position of the metal ions in the fullerite interstices are
discussed.
