Spectroscopic investigation of the quantum dynamics of small molecules encapsulated inside fullerene cages

The encapsulation of a small molecule inside a fullerene cage through advances in synthetic chemistry have created a new platform to study the dynamics of a freely rotating and translating quantum rotors entrapped inside a symmetric cage potential. These endohedral fullerene complexes are of great i...
