The character of crystal orbitals near the Fermilevel for both Ca3 C60 and Ca5 C60 is completely carbon-like.In both cases the Ca3 atoms are almost fully ionized and C60 molecules form a stable negative charge state with six to ten additional electrons.The conductivity of Ba6 C60 is resuted from the incomplete charge tranfer.The valance charge of every Ba ion is about 0.33.The total charge tranfer of six Ba atoms is almost the same as that of five Ca atoms.展开更多
