Abstract

The normal-state transport properties of alkali-metal-doped fullerene crystals are explored. The Hall effect has been measured in K_xC₆₀ from room temperature to T_c. The electrical resistivity ρ for K₃C₆₀ and Rb₃C₆₀ has been measured over a wide temperature range (20-650 K), and notable differences are observed for the materials at both low and high temperatures. The electrical resistivity of Rb₃C₆₀ has been measured in hydrostatic pressures up to 9 kbar. The resistivity is highly pressure sensitive. The transport results give an insight into the normal-state conduction mechanism and thus have consequences for the superconductivity mechanism.
