One of the attractive properties of the hollow carbon clusters, known as fullerenes, is the
possibility to use them as robust containers for other species. Although an IUPAC …

Fullerenes have the characteristic of a hollow interior, and this unique feature triggers
intuitive inspiration to entrap atoms, ions or clusters inside the carbon cage in the form of …

Nd-based nitride clusterfullerenes NdM2N@ C80 with rare-earth metals of different sizes
(M= Sc, Y, Lu) were synthesized to elucidate the influence of the cluster composition, shape …

In this work we discuss the excitation of parallel collective resonances in arrays of gold
nanoparticles. Parallel collective resonances result from the coupling of the nanoparticles …

Magneto-luminescent molecules have significant applications in data storage and quantum
computing. However, design of these bi-functional molecules coupled with magnetic …

Knowledge on endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) has increased dramatically during the
last decade. Numerous research findings have been reported, making it an opportune time …

It is important to explore luminescent single-molecule magnets (SMMs) to promote their
application in high-density data storage. Herein, we report two dimetallofullerenes of DyEr …

Phase equilibria in the PbF 2–RF 3 (R= La–Nd, Sm, Gd–Lu, Y, and Sc) systems were
studied by X-ray powder diffraction in samples annealed under a fluorinating atmosphere …

Rare earth ions are the backbone of a wide range of optoelectronic applications, ranging
from solid-state lasers and fiber amplifiers to silicon photonics. So far experiments on single …

Erbium metallofullerenes exhibit near-infrared photoluminescence from the Er3+ ions, which
has potential applications in telecommunications, optical devices and bioscience. In this …
