Figure 2
Composite picture illustrating the relation between the bulk structures of ZrCl3, PuBr3 and UCl3 and the LaCl3 filling material inside (a) a (16,0) C-SWNT, (b) an (18,0) C-SWNT, (c) an (18,3) C-SWNT and (d) a (19,0) C-SWNT, respectively. Each filling composite model is compared to an equivalent fragment of bulk ZrCl3 and/or PuBr3 and/or UCl3; all the crystal fragments are reproduced to relative scale and the main polyhedra are indicated in pale blue. In the upper parts of all parts (i), the top half of the carbon nanotube has been omitted for clarity. |
