Hybrid System:
Elaboration by vapor phase method
Investigations by TEM, EELS, Raman, PL…
Objectives: Synthesis of a new C60 1D phase
Major achievments:
A new 1D phase is evidenced with covalent bonding in between C60 [1]
X-ray diffraction pattern of raw SWNT (black curve) and peapods (blue curve)

Open questions:
Encapsulation rate of C60?
Physical interactions between C60 and SWNT?
(van der Waals, p-stacking, charge transfer…)
- Can we tune the 1D phase by changing SWNT diameter?
