Surprises in the phase diagram of an Anderson impurity model for a single C${}_{60}^{n-}$ molecule

Abstract

We find by Wilson numerical renormalization group and conformal field theory that a three-orbital Anderson impurity model for a C${}_{60}^{n-}$ molecule has a very rich phase diagram which includes non-Fermi-liquid stable and unstable fixed points with interesting properties, most notably high sensitivity to doping $n$. We discuss the implications of our results to the conductance behavior of C${}_{60}$-based single-molecule transistor devices.
