Abstract
A method for making a superconducting fullerine composition, includes reacting a fullerine with an alloy, and particularly reacting C.sub.60 with a binary alloy including an alkali metal or a tertiary alloy including two alkali metals in the vapor phase. Also, a Cesium-doped fullerine high T.sub.c superconducting composition has the formula Cs.sub.x C.sub.60, and particularly Cs.sub.3 C.sub.60. Also, a homogeneous bulk single phase high T.sub.c superconducting composition has the formula (Rb.sub.x K.sub.1-x).sub.3 C.sub.60.
