K. Khazeni et al., TRANSPORT AND STRUCTURAL-PROPERTIES OF POLYMERIZED AC(60) (A=K, RB) UNDER ZERO AND HIGH-PRESSURE CONDITIONS, Applied physics A: Materials science & processing, 64(3), 1997, pp. 263-269
Polymerized forms of alkali-doped C-60 display transport properties va
stly different from their unpolymerized counterparts. We here describe
structural (X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy) a
nd de resistivity measurements of polymerized AC(60) (A = K, Rb) at ze
ro and high pressures. The structural and electronic properties are ri
ch, and evidence is found for unusual phase transitions in both materi
als.
