Potočnik, A., Krajnc, ., Jeglič, ., Takabayashi, Y., Ganin, A. Y., Prassides, K., …Arčon, D. (2014). Size and symmetry of the superconducting gap in the f.c.c. Cs3C60 polymorph close to the metal-Mott insulator boundary. Scientific Reports, 4, Article 4265. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep04265

The alkali fullerides, A3C60 (A = alkali metal) are molecular superconductors that undergo a transition to a magnetic Mott-insulating state at large lattice parameters. However, although the size and the symmetry of the superconducting gap, Δ, are bo... Read More about Size and symmetry of the superconducting gap in the f.c.c.

Methylaminated Potassium Fulleride, (CH3NH2)K3C60: Towards Hyperexpanded Fulleride Lattices. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 128(46), 14784-14785. https://doi.org/10.1021/ja066295j

Co-intercalation of methylamine molecules into the cubic K3C60 lattice affords the fulleride (CH3NH2)K3C60, which was characterized by Raman and MAS 13C and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The high-resolution synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction technique was e... Read More about Methylaminated Potassium Fulleride, (CH3NH2)K3C60: Towards Hyperexpanded Fulleride Lattices.

X-ray illumination induced Fe(II) spin crossover in the prussian blue analogue cesium iron hexacyanochromate. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 128(25), 8358-8363. https://doi.org/10.1021/ja061650r

The effect of X-ray illumination on the structural properties of the mixed valence Prussian blue analogue CsFeII[CrIII(CN)6] has been studied by time-dependent high-resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Abrupt isosymmetric phase transitions, acco... Read More about X-ray illumination induced Fe(II) spin crossover in the prussian blue analogue cesium iron hexacyanochromate.

Temperature-induced valence transition and associated lattice collapse in samarium fulleride (2003)
Journal Article
Arvanitidis, J., Papagelis, K., Margadonna, S., Prassides, K., & Fitch, A. (2003). Temperature-induced valence transition and associated lattice collapse in samarium fulleride. Nature, 425(6958), 599-602. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature01994

The different degrees of freedom of a given system are usually independent of each other but can in some materials be strongly coupled, giving rise to phase equilibria sensitively susceptible to external perturbations. Such systems often exhibit unus... Read More about Temperature-induced valence transition and associated lattice collapse in samarium fulleride.

The crystal structure of the superconducting (ND3)xNaA2C60 (0.7 x 1, A= K, Rb) fullerides (Tc= 6-15 K) has been studied by synchrotron X-ray and neutron powder diffraction. It is face-centered cubic (fcc) to low temperatures with Na+-ND3 pairs residi... Read More about Ammoniated alkali fullerides (ND₃)<sub>x</sub>NaA₂C₆₀: Ammonia specific effects and superconductivity.
