Covalent Superconductor - Intercalated Graphite

Intercalated Graphite

When metal atoms are inserted (intercalated) between the graphite planes, several superconductors are created with the following transition temperatures:

Material CaC6 Li3Ca2C6 YbC6 SrC6 KC8 RbC8 NaC3 KC3 LiC3 NaC2 LiC2
Tc (K) 11.5 11.15 6.5 1.65 0.14 0.025 2.3-3.8 3.0 <0.35 5.0 1.9
