One-dimensional confined motion of single metal atoms inside double-walled carbon nanotubes.
Peapods containing La@C_{82} metallofullerenes are transformed into double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWNTs) using in situ electron beam irradiation at 80 kV. Using this low accelerating voltage we find no damage to the outer single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) within this time period and the complet...
