Superconductivity in a molecular metal cluster compound.
Compelling evidence for band-type conductivity and even bulk superconductivity below Tc approximately 8 K has been found in (69,71)Ga NMR experiments in crystalline ordered, giant Ga84 cluster compounds. This material appears to represent the first realization of a theoretical model proposed by Friedel in 1992 for superconductivity in ordered arrays of weakly coupled, identical metal nanoparticles.
