Abstract

A series of new heterofullerides with compositions Rb2MC60, K2MC60, and KM2C60 (M = Mg, Be) have been synthesized. Measurements of the temperature dependences of the magnetic susceptibility in the temperature interval from 4.2 to 300 K reveal a superconducting transition in heterofullerides K2MgC60, KMg2C60, K2BeC60, and Rb2BeC60 at temperatures T c = 13–22 K. The electron states with uncompensated spin are studied by the electron paramagnetic resonance technique. The contributions of conduction electrons and localized electrons to the paramagnetic susceptibility are extracted.
