Abstract

The equilibrium state of the C60@C450 nanoparticle was studied. The compound was found to be stable during the encapsulation of C60 tubelene. The motions of tubelene in the confinement potential field of a closed C450 nanotube, namely, the translational motion along the tubule axis and the rotational motion were investigated in detail. It is predicted that there is a nanogyroscope inside C450, rotating in the field of the C60 capsule. Its quantized rotational states were calculated. The nanoparticle structure and energy were investigated by the tight binding method using modified parameters.
