Alkali-doped fullerides : narrow-band solids with unusual properties / Olle Gunnarsson.

Alkali-doped fullerides have attracted strong interest since their production became possible about fifteen years ago. This book presents work which may solve intriguing problems arising from a variety of remarkable properties. For example, these solids are superconductors with high transition tempe...
