Abstract

The dimensionless electron-phonon coupling parameter in alkali metal-doped fullerenes isevaluated in a model whereby the electrons are treated within a tight binding formalism.The phonon mode frequencies and eigenvectors are obtained from a lattice dynamical modelwhich accurately fits all available experimental data on these modes. It is shown that the electrormphonon interaction can account for the relatively high values of the superconducting transition temperatures in alkali-metal fullerenes.
