摘要
We study the valence band of Eu-intercalated C-60 by synchrotron radiation photoelectron spectroscopy to understand the ferromagnetism ( FM) and the giant magnetoresistance ( GMR) of Eu6C60. The results reveal the semiconducting property and the remarkable 5d6s-pi hybridization. Eu-C-60 bonding has both ionic and covalent contributions. No more than half the 5d6s electrons transfer from Eu to the LUMO derived band of C-60, and the LUMO+1 derived band is not filled. The remaining valence electrons of Eu, together with some pi (LUMO, HOMO and HOMO-1) electrons, constitute the covalent bond. The electronic structure implies that the magnetic coupling in Eu6C60 should be through the intra-atomic f-sd exchange and the medium of the.. electrons. The possibility of the GMR being tunnelling magnetoresistance is ruled out.
