Development of new high Tc superconductors through electron injection of hybrid pi-electron nanocarbon architectures

该项目的目标是合成具有二维层状混合结构的新型晶体材料，包括C60和多芳烃构建块。这对于多芳烃，三苯基来说是成功的。由此产生的强相关莫特绝缘相的结构特征一直持续到低温，并显示出独特的结构和各种相变。它们现在已经被化学处理以提供具有二维结构的晶体还原材料。它们的金属丰度和超导性等特性正受到人们的积极研究。

The project has been targeting the synthesis of new crystalline materials with two-dimensional-layered hybrid architectures comprising C60 and polyaromatic hydrocarbon building blocks. This has been successful for the polyaromatic hydrocarbon, triphenylene. The resulting strongly-correlated Mott insulating phases have been structurally characterized down to cryogenic temperatures and reveal unique architectures and a variety of phase transitions. They have now been chemically manipulated to afford crystalline reduced materials with two-dimensional architectures. Their properties focusing on metallicity and superconductivity are being actively pursued.
