Endorsed doping : Calculations on the recently characterized cuboid C 60 fullerene (see picture) confirm that it is metallic. Doping of Ba atoms into the cage and interstitial sites of cuboid C 60 cages is shown theoretically to be energetically favorable. The changes in electronic properties that result from Ba doping suggest that cuboid C 60 might be an important electronic material for technological applications.
