Low temperature fullerene encapsulation in single wall carbon nanotubes: synthesis of N@C${}_{60}$@SWCNT

F. Simon, H. Kuzmany, H. Rauf +6

High filling of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) with C${}_{60}$ and C${}_{70}$ fullerenes in solvent is reported at temperatures as low as 69 ${}^o$C. A 2 hour long refluxing in n…
