title: Host-guest interactions in azafullerene (C59N)-single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) peapod hybrid structures.
abstract: The effect of azafullerene encapsulation on the electronic states of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is investigated; UV-vis-NIR absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy shows that the interaction between SWCNTs and the encapsulated azafullerenes is originated from the weak intermolecular forces, which suggests a lack of strong doping effect such as electron transfer between them.
