Abstract

A structure sequence of doped fcc, bct, bcc and Rb-saturated fcc phases was observed in C70Rbx with increasing Rb concentration using x-ray-diffraction measurements. The composition of the Rb-saturated phase was estimated to be C70Rb9.4±0.4 from a weight measurement. A model for the structure of C70Rb9 is proposed. Superconductivity in each phase was checked using ac magnetic-susceptibility measurements. All these phases were nonsuperconducting down to 1.3 K.
