Upper critical field reaches 90 tesla near the Mott transition in fulleride superconductors

Alkali-doped fullerides are superconductors but the impact of dimensionality and electron correlation remains unclear. Here, Kasaharaet al. report an upper critical field about 90 T, suggesting cooperative interplay between molecular electronic structure and strong electron correlations.
