Raman Scattering Study of Ba-doped C60 with t1g States
Raman spectra are reported for Ba doped fullerides, BaxC60(x=3,4,and 6). The
lowest frequency Hg modes split into five components for Ba4C60 and Ba6C60 even
at room temperature, allowing us a quantitative analysis based on the
electron-phonon couping theory. For the superconducting Ba4C60, the density of
states at the Fermi energy was derived as 7 eV-1, while the total value of
electron-phonon coupling \lambda was found to be 1.0, which is comparable to
that of K3C60. The tangential Ag(2) mode, which is known as a sensitive probe
for the degree of charge transfer on C60 molecule, shows a remarkable shift
depending on the Ba concentration, being roughly consistent with the full
charge transfer from Ba to C60. An effect of hybridization between Ba and C60
\pi orbitals is also discussed.Comment: 15 pages, 6 figures submitted to Phys. Rev. B (December 1,1998
