Molecular motion of endohedral fullerenes in single-walled carbon nanotubes

Rock and roll: Endohedral fullerenes Ce@C82 inserted in single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) interact by electrostatic interactions and exhibit unusual dynamic behavior. Translational oscillations and discontinuous molecular rotations are observed (by high-resolution transmission electron microsco...
