(Sm⅓Ca⅔)2.75C60 is a member of the family of non-stoichiometric strongly-correlated rare-earth fullerides, (Sm1-xCax)2.75C60 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1), in which an orthorhombic 222 supercell of the face-centred cubic (fcc) unit...
The structural stability and electronic properties of [Formula: see text] are probed by means of high-pressure Raman spectroscopy using two different pressure transmitting media that lead to practically identical results. Although [Formula: see text] is isostructural with the rare-earth metal fulleride, [Formula: see text] of the same stoichiometry, the pressure coefficients of characteristic intramolecular [Formula: see text] modes are larger than those in the [Formula: see text] counterpart but similar to those in the pristine [Formula: see text] solid. Since the reduced pressure coefficients in the Sm fulleride have been attributed to strong [Formula: see text] coupling, our findings for the isostructural Ca fulleride are compatible with a reduced orbital mixing and [Formula: see text] coupling.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
