Abstract

Capitalizing on the two-dimensional nature of superconductivity in field-effect doped C₆₀, we show that it should be possible to increase the transition temperature T_c by applying uniaxial stress perpendicular to the gate electrode. This method not only holds the promise of substantially enhancing T_c (by about 30 K per GPa), but also provides a sensitive check of the current understanding of superconductivity in the doped fullerenes.
