AbstractAbstract
[en] Full text: Since the discovery of superconductivity in alkali-doped solid C60, the electronic structure of the host material (C60) and the doped compounds (AxC60, where A is an alkali metal), has been the subject of a considerable amount of work, both theoretical and experimental. The spectroscopic investigations of the alkali-doped C60 compounds has been mainly focussed on the valence states, while much less information is available on the unoccupied states. In particular, inverse photoemission data on the complete set of stable RbxC60 compounds was, so far, still missing. We have performed Inverse Photoemission (IPE) spectroscopy on RbxC60 compounds (x = 1, 3, 4, 6). IPE spectra were obtained using a band-pass photon detector (hv = 9.4 eV, FWHM = 0.7 eV) and scanning the kinetic energy of the electrons impinging on the sample. Rb was evaporated on C60 films (thickness = 6-12 atomic layers) grown in situ on a Cu(100) substrate. The temperature of the substrate was kept equal to T = 100 deg C, which is lower than the C60 sublimation temperature. The amount of Rb was checked by measuring the intensity of the C1s and Rb3d photoemission lines. After the required amount of Rb had been deposited, the samples were annealed to distillate the desired stable phase
