Mapping the One-Dimensional Electronic States of Nanotube Peapod Structures

Abstract: Arrays of C60 molecules nested inside single-walled nanotubes represent a class of nanoscale materials having tunable properties. We report electronic measurements of this system made with a scanning tunneling microscope and demonstrate that the encapsulated C60 molecules modify the local electronic structure of the nanotube. Our measurements and calculations also show that a periodic array of C60 molecules gives rise to a hybrid electronic band, which derives its character from both the nanotube states and th… Show more

“…This is consistent with the observed trend. Note the perturbation of the electronic structure of a SWNT by interior C 60 has been directly detected [4], although we do not try to quantitatively reconcile our Raman data at present.…”

“…It is possible that this is because the SWNTs shield interior C 60 from incident radiation, thereby annihilating the fullerene's Raman cross-section. This problem is made more complicated by the fact that the resonance condition of each filled SWNT is potentially changed due to intermolecular hybridization, as has been shown by STM and STS [4]. Clearly, it is not necessarily the case that high yields of C 60 @SWNT should give the Raman shifts expected from an isolated C 60 molecule.…”
