Lattice-gas model for alkali-metal fullerides: face-centered-cubic structure
Laszlo Udvardi, Gyorgy Szabo
Abstract
A lattice-gas model is suggested for describing the ordering phenomena in alkali-metal fullerides of face-centered-cubic structure assuming the electric charge of alkali ions residing in either octahedral or tetrahedral interstitial sites is completely screened by the first-neighbor C60 molecules. This approximation allows us to derive an effective ion-ion interaction. The van der Waals interaction between the ion and C60 molecule is characterized by introducing an additional energy at the tetrahedral sites. This model is investigated by using a three-sublattice mean-field approximation and a simple cluster-variation method. The analysis shows a large variety of phase diagrams when changing the site energy parameter.
