Encapsulating atoms or molecules inside fullerene cages could give rise to a myriad of
novel molecules and materials. The existence of such species is now strongly supported by …

The most relevant, and often utilized, methods and techniques for obtaining energy levels of
confined one-and two-electron atoms are reviewed. We discuss how the electronic states of …

The present paper describes rotations of C60 fullerene molecules in the solid phase of a
fullerite. The conducted studies show that these relatively large molecules rotate according …

We introduce a new kind of endofullerenes by trapping superalkali (SA) species (the species
possessing lower ionization energy than alkali metals) into C 60. Employing density …

We review the development and practical uses of a generalized Maupertuis least action
principle in classical mechanics in which the action is varied under the constraint of fixed …

UV–VIS, IR and Raman investigations have been carried out on purified Li@ C60 produced
by low energy ion implantation of C60. Two endohedral fractions can be isolated that have …

Fullerenes became known to chemists recently enough for computational chemistry, and
especially molecular mechanics and semiempirical quantum chemistry, to have provided …

Li@ C 60 is a prototype endofullerene, which has been widely studied. Employing density
functional theory we study the interaction of Li@ C 60 with PF 6 superhalogen, which leads …

Structural and optical properties of proton and alkali-metal atom cation encapsulated inside
C60 molecule, M+@ C60 (where M= H, Li, Na, and K), are investigated in detail by first …

Lithium is the lightest metal element. To date, little is known about its quantized nuclear
motion in nanoscale porous structures. Endohedral fullerene Li+@ C60 is an ideal porous …
