Abstract

We found that A3Ba3C60 (A=K,Rb,andCs) forms an isostructural series of compounds with a body-centered-cubic structure and tunable lattice parameter, while retaining the nominal molecular valence as C609−. In sharp contrast with the trivalent face-centered-cubic A3C60-type superconductors, the density of states at the Fermi energy and Tc decrease with increasing lattice parameter. Analysis by a phonon-mediated pairing model gives relevant parameters which considerably differ from those proposed for the A3C60 superconductors.
