Abstract
A method for making a superconducting fullerine composition, includes reacting a fullerine with an alloy, and particularly reacting C60 with a binary alloy including an alkali metal or a tertiary alloy including two alkali metals in the vapor phase. Also, a Cesium-doped fullerine high Tc superconducting composition has the formula Csx C60, and particularly Cs3 C60. Also, a homogeneous bulk single phase high Tc superconducting composition has the formula (Rbx K1-x)3 C60.
