Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed a low energy irradiation technique of Fe and FeCl ions, aiming at synthesising endohedral Fe fullerenes, which are model materials of magnetic endohedral fullerenes. We succeeded in sythesising FeCl-fullerene complexes by FeCl ion beam irradiation. We obtained experimental and computational simulation results, that imply an endohedral structure and high stability of FeCl-fullerenes.
