Abstract
For provides a superconducting material comprising highly chemically stable Fullerene carbon molecules having a relatively high transition temperature and high chemical stability, C20 Fullerene molecules having stronger electron-lattice interaction than that of C60 Fullerene molecules are used, in order to polymerize the C20 Fullerene molecules into a one-dimensional chain, C20 is incorporated in a gap of a material having a large band gap between a valence band and a conduction band, thereafter, electrons or positive holes are injected into the obtained C20 Fullerene chain polymer via an electric field application for phase transition to a superconductor.

A superconducting material comprising a structure wherein C20 Fullerene molecules are polymerized into a one-dimensional chain.
A method for producing a superconducting material. comprising the steps of:
- incorporating and polymerizing C20 Fullerene molecules in a porous material which has a large band gap between a valence band and a conduction band;
- mounting the porous material incorporating the C20 Fullerene molecules on a semiconductor substrate doped with an acceptor or a donor;
- and
- applying electric field to the porous material.
