A hybrid molecular peapod of sp2- and sp3-nanocarbons enabling ultrafast terahertz rotations
Mechanical motions in hybrid sp2/sp3 -hybrid nanocarbon peapods might lead to promising materials applications, but have been insufficiently explored. Here the authors demonstrate that a diamondoid molecule trapped inside a carbonaceous cylinder undergoes solid-state rotations at terahertz frequenci...
