Metal-Insulator Transition in C60-Polymers
Kikuo Harigaya
Abstract
Variations in the band structures of C60-polymers are studied, when pi-conjugation conditions are changed. We look at band structures in order to discuss a metal-insulator transition, using a semi-empirical model with the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger type electron-phonon interactions. We find that electronic structures change among direct-gap insulators and the metal, depending on the degree of pi-conjugations. High pressure experiments could observe such pressure-induced metal-insulator transitions.
