Abstract
We report on the lower critical field of fullerene superconductors derived from a "trapped magnetic moment" method. Superconducting , , and Rb crystals and powders with shielding fractions between 3 and 100% were investigated. In contrast to all previous investigations made by other methods, the values of are much smaller and of the order of 1 mT at . We show that the smallness of is not related to Josephson junctions and granularity, but is an intrinsic property of the fullerenes.
