Electronic structure, conductivity and superconductivity of alkali metal doped (C60)

The high electron affinity and the existence of radiating [pi]-orbitals when combined with simple ideas for the design of molecular metals and superconductors led the authors to pursue conductivity and superconductivity in the alkali metal doped fullerenes. Further, the authors discuss the preparation and characterization of conducting and superconducting solids and films based on these materials and the current state of understanding within this field.
