C-60 fullerite has been Ca-intercalated under high pressure up to 240 kbar induced by a shock-wave. Conductance of the samples exposed to shock-wave pressure has been measured. Magnetometric measurements have revealed superconductivity of the intercalated samples at 4.7, 9.9, and 30 K. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
