摘要
The Ca3d state is a necessary and sufficient condition to produce an interlayer band in CaC6 according to model and first-principles studies, and this band cannot be considered to be a free-electron band. Involvement of the Ca 3d state in the chemical bonding and its tight-binding character explain the unusual Ca isotope effect in CaC6. The picture shows the orbital topology of one of the Fermi states of CaC6. (Figure Presented). © 2008 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
