Abstract

We report on the structural, lattice and electronic properties of stage 1,2,3 potassium-amalgam GIG and the relation of these properties to the observed superconducting transition temperature. The ultramicrostructure of the intercalant domains is investigated using lattice fringe imaging. Our observation of macroscopic (√3×√3),(2×2) and (√3×2) domains is consistent with the basal plane zonefolded phenomena observed in the Raman spectra. Shubnikovde Haas measurements of the Fermi surface show high frequency (>1000 T) oscillations in stage 2, identified with the intercalant band.
