Abstract

The superconducting energy gap of Rb3C60 has been measured by infrared transmission through a thin film. Resistivity measurements on the same samples in situ indicate a transition to superconductivity at the expected temperature, ∼30K, with distinct gap features appearing in the transmission below this temperature. The results are interpreted in terms of the BCS theory.
