    The possibility of H-2 gas storage in fullerene-like materials such as carbon clusters and boron nitride clusters was investigated by molecular dynamics calculations. First principle single point energy calculation was also carried out for C-60 and B36N36 clusters with changing point of H-2 molecule to compare the behavior of H-2 molecules at the tetragonal, pentagonal and hexagonal rings. Molecular dynamics calculations showed that a H-2 molecule remains stable in a C-60 cage at 298 K and 0.1 MPa. It is confirmed that pressures over 5 MPa are needed to store H-2 molecules in the C-60 cage. As a result of single point energy calculations, H-2 molecules enter from hexagonal rings of fullerene-like materials. BN fullerene materials can store H-2 molecules easier than carbon fullerene materials, and has good high temperature stability. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

    DIAMOND AND RELATED MATERIALS, 11(3-6) 949-952, Mar, 2002  Peer-reviewed
    Nanoparticles of AlB10, TiN and VN encapsulated by boron nitride (BN) layers were synthesized by an arc-melting method in a N-2/Ar gas mixture from boron/Al powder compacts, TiB2 and VB2, respectively. From high-resolution electron microscopy observations, formation mechanisms of BN nanocapsules were proposed, and BN tube-like structures were also produced. Magnetization of BN nanocapsules with TiN nanoparticles showed a spin-glass-like behavior. The present work indicates that Al, Ti and V could be a good catalyst to produce BN nanocapsules, nanocages and nanotubes by the arc melting method. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V All rights reserved.

    Endohedral fullerenes Si@C-74 were produced by direct current and radio-frequency hybrid are-discharge. Atomic structure analysis and structural optimization of the Si@C-74 were carried out by high-resolution electron microscopy, image simulation, molecular mechanics and ab initio molecular orbital calculations. Total steric energy of the Si@C-74 was the lowest in the present calculation of C-60-C-76 clusters. The energy gap of the Si@C-74 was calculated to be 0.098 eV, and the heat of formation per carbon atom is almost the same as that of the C-60 Cluster. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

    La@B36N36 endohedral metallofullerenes were synthesized for the first time, which was observed by high-resolution electron microscopy, and a structure model was proposed. Image simulations of the La@B36N36 clusters also showed the possible existence of a La atom inside the BN clusters. Atomic structures, structural stabilities and electronic structures of La@B36N36, Fe@B36N36 and B36N36 clusters were investigated by molecular mechanics and molecular orbital calculations, which showed that the B36N36 clusters are expanded by introducing doping atoms and the energy gap of B36N36 is reduced by introducing La and Fe atoms inside the B36N36 cluster.

    Various boron nitride (BN) and carbon (C) nanocage fullerene materials (clusters, metallofullerenes, onion, nanotubes and nanocapsules) were synthesized by arc-melting, electron-beam irradiation, chemical reaction, and self-organization. Atomic structures and structural stability of these materials were investigated by high-resolution electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, electron energy-loss spectroscopy, molecular mechanics, molecular dynamics and molecular orbital calculations. Photoluminescence, magnetic and electronic properties of these fullerene materials were also investigated. The present work indicates that: the new BN and C nanocage fullerene materials with various atomic structures and properties can be produced by various synthesis methods, and a guideline for designing the BN and C fullerene materials is summarized.
