Several samples of K 3 C 60 have been made by the calcination of C 60 powder plus K flakes in evacuated quartz tubes at temperatures between 100°C and 700°C for 24 hours. The non-resonant microwave absorption (NRMA) measurements have been done below T c for these samples. From the linewidths and intensities of the NRMA signals, the superconducting properties (T c superconducting volume fraction and vortex size) have been studied as a function of the calcination temperature.
