Abstract

Abstract : The quantum tunneling mechanism of DySc2 N@C80 and Dy2 ScN@C80 in single-walled carbon nanotubes was revealed to be tuned in opposite ways. Abstract : Encapsulation of a metallofullerene single-molecule magnet, Dy2 ScN@C80, into single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) accelerates magnetic relaxation processes. In contrast, encapsulation of DySc2 N@C80 suppresses them. The effects of the encapsulation are discussed in terms of intermolecular magnetic interactions and charge transfer among metallofullerenes and SWCNTs.
