Breathing-trap mechanism for encapsulation of atomic hydrogen in C-60 uri icon

abstract

  • Our density-functional-based simulations demonstrate that atomic hydrogen can be encapsulated in C60 via collisions of either H or H 2 with a C60 molecule whose breathing mode has been properly excited by an optimized femtosecond-scale laser pulse. The basic mechanism is a 'breathing trap', with the C60 first expanding, to admit the H, and then contracting, to contain it. 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
