Dielectric screening in doped Fullerides
  For conventional superconductors the electron-electron interaction is strongly reduced by retardation effects, making the formation of Cooper pairs possible. In the alkali-doped Fullerides, however, there are no strong retardation effects. But dielectric screening can reduce the electron-electron interaction sufficiently, if we assume that the random-phase approximation (RPA) is valid. It is not clear, however, if this assumption holds, since the alkali-doped Fullerides are strongly correlated systems close to a Mott transition. To test the validity of the RPA for these systems we have calculated the screening of a test charge using quantum Monte Carlo.
