ABSTRACT
The appearance of superconductivity in alkali fullerides has led to extensive efforts in attempting to understand their electronic, magnetic, structural, and dynamic properties and to elucidate the origin of their high Tc. In particular, the question of whether or not such a large value of Tc can be caused by coupling to phonons alone is yet to be answered, and the answer strongly depends on the normal-state properties. Despite the apparent simplicity of the structure of A3C60 fullerides (where A is an alkali metal), some important issues are yet to be fully resolved.
