Electron-beam-promoted fullerene dimerization in nanotubes: insights from DFT computations

Fullerene dimerization inside a peapod is analyzed at DFT level by characterizing the stationary points and deriving the energy profile of the initial and reversible process named phase 1. We find that the barriers for the radical cation mechanism are significantly lower than those found for the neu...
