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-分层混合结构的新晶体材料，该结构由C60和多芳烃构建块组成。这对于多芳烃三苯基来说是成功的。由此得到的强关联Mott绝缘相已经在结构上进行了表征，低至低温，并揭示了独特的结构和各种相变。现在已经对它们进行了化学处理，以提供具有二维结构的结晶还原材料。它们的性质主要集中在金属丰度和超导电性上，人们正在积极追寻。

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.
