摘要
Supramolecular assemblages made of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) filled with fullerenes or metal doped fullerenes exhibit promising electronic structure variations at a nanometer scale. Nevertheless, the knowledge about the structural defects of these systems is still very limited. Here, we report structural evolutions under high-resolution electron microscopic observation at the sensitivity of a single atom detection for Ca@C-82 molecules encapsulated within SWNT.
