Electronic Structure of Superconducting KC8 and Nonsuperconducting LiC6 Graphite Intercalation Compounds: Evidence for a Graphene-Sheet-Driven Superconducting State

Journal Article Pan, Z H ; Camacho, J ; Upton, M H ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We have performed photoemission studies of the electronic structure in LiC{sub 6} and KC{sub 8}, a nonsuperconducting and a superconducting graphite intercalation compound, respectively. We have found that the charge transfer from the intercalant layers to graphene layers is larger in KC{sub 8} than in LiC{sub 6}, opposite of what might be expected from their chemical composition. We have also measured the strength of the electron-phonon interaction on the graphene-derived Fermi surface to carbon derived phonons in both materials and found that it follows a universal trend where the coupling strength and superconductivity monotonically increase with the filling of graphenemore »« less

Low-temperature specific heat of the graphite intercalation compounds KC/sub 8/, CsC/sub 8/, RbC/sub 8/, and their parent highly oriented pyrolytic graphite

Journal Article Alexander, M G ; Goshorn, D P ; Onn, D G - Phys. Rev., B: Condens. Matter; (United States)

The specific heat of the graphite intercalation compounds KC/sub 8/, CsC/sub 8/, and RbC/sub 8/ and their parent material, highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), has been determined between 0.48 and 90 K. The results are analyzed in terms of electronic and lattice contributions. The electronic contribution to the specific heat of these compounds is enhanced by at least 29 times above that for HOPG. Comparisons are made to theoretical band-structure calculations. The lattice contribution shows deviations from a Debye model for T>5 K, which can be mathematically fitted by an Einstein specific-heat function. While our results for RbC/sub 8/ aremore »« less

Structural and electronic properties of graphite and graphite intercalation compounds MC[sub 8] (M = K, Rb, Cs) governing their scanning tunneling microscopy images

Journal Article Whangbo, M H ; Liang, W ; Ren, J ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry; (United States)

Several puzzling observations in the scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) studies of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) and its intercalation compounds MC[sub 8] (M = K, Rb, Cs) were investigated on the basis of atom-atom potential and Coulombic interaction energy calculations. The charge or spin density wave state of a graphite monolayer is found inconsistent with an identical peak registry of the HOPG STM images obtained at plus and minus bias voltages. Simultaneous STM/AFM measurements of HOPG show the STM and AFM images to have an identical peak registry, which implies that the local hardness ofmore »« less

High pressure superconducting behavior of the stage-1 alkali metal-graphite intercalation compounds RbC/sub 8/ and CsC/sub 8/

Technical Report Lambert, S E ; Chen, J W ; Maple, M B ; ...

We have performed measurements of the pressure dependence of the superconducting transition temperature T/sub c/ of the stage-1 graphite intercalation compounds RbC/sub 8/ and CsC/sub 8/ as a function of hydrostatic pressure P less than or equal to 2.2 GPa. RbC/sub 8/ is nonsuperconducting to temperatures T greater than or equal to 0.07/sup 0/K at P = 0 and to T greater than or equal to 1.3/sup 0/K for P less than or equal to 2.2 GPa. However, T/sub c/'s greater than or equal to 0.25/sup 0/K were detected at P < 0.09 GPa. A superconducting transition was also foundmore »« less
Mo{sub 6}Se{sub 8}-cluster-based superconducting compounds Cs{sub 2}Mo{sub 12}Se{sub 14} and Rb{sub 4}Mo{sub 18}Se{sub 20}: Evidence for a strongly correlated and anisotropic electron system

Journal Article Brusetti, R ; Laborde, O ; Sulpice, A ; ... - Physical Review, B: Condensed Matter

We studied the normal and superconducting states of the title compounds by measuring the conductivity and magnetization of single crystals and powder samples. From the upper and lower critical fields we deduced the characteristic lengths and thermodynamical fields. These results are borne out by our specific-heat measurements. We recognize in these compounds many features of the Chevrel-phase superconductors, including very small coherence lengths and strong-coupling-like effects. However, we show that the electron system is much more anisotropic and still less delocalized in these materials where the Mo{sub 6}Se{sub 8} clusters have condensed in Mo{sub 6{ital n}}Se{sub 6{ital n}+2} finite chains.more »« less
