Abstract

A carbon solid containing two carbon allotropes, C₆₀ and graphite has been synthesized. In this solid, the two dimensional layers of C₆₀, stacked in between every graphite layers, show long range ordering with average separation of 1.27 nm between C₆₀ layers. Predominantly stage-1 along with stage-4 is obtained. An up-shift in the graphite E_2g2 Raman mode and a downshift in the C₆₀ Raman A_g2 mode occurred due to a charge transfer and indicated highly conducting state of C₆₀. This C₆₀-graphite intercalation compound can act as a host for co-intercalation of alkalimetals and may lead to a new superconductors.
