Description

The 2γ-angular correlation distributions of the stage 1 Graphite Intercalation Compounds C6Li and C8K are found to be very different. For C8K, the distributions are dominated by a free electron contribution similar to those in pure alkali metals. In contrast, the distributions of C6Li remain similar to those of graphite. The two materials are classified into s(+ π)-band metals (C8K) and π-band metals (C6Li). (author)
