Abstract
CN magnetic fullerenes inside single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are used to probe the density of states (DOS) on the host tubes using electron spin resonance (ESR). The CN radicals are separated by C fullerenes to prevent dimerization and CN-C heterodimers are formed at low temperatures. The electron spin-lattice relaxation time, T, of the heterodimers is deduced from the homogeneous ESR line-width. The analysis is supported by saturation ESR studies. The inverse of the heterodimer T follows a linear behavior in the 20-300 K temperature range, the so-called Korringa law, evidencing a metallic DOS on all tubes in a bundle. © 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
