Abstract

Carbon nanotube is an interesting materials as a unique 1D nanosize structure. We have tried to prepare 1D C₆₀ nanostructures confined in the zeolite 'FSM-16' which have 1D holes of the diameter of 2.7 nanometers. 1D C₆₀ embedded in the holes in FSM-16 show new photoluminescence which peak energy is shifted about 0.1 eV higher than that of normal C₆₀ films. The shift of the photoluminescence can be explained by the quantum size effect of the C₆₀ confined to 1D holes. To prepare good samples, it is necessary to effuse out the absorbed gases in FSM-16. The results of gas effusion spectra until 1000 degrees C to clarify the properties of absorbed gases in FSM-16 are also shown and discussed to get good samples without the effect of absorbed gases.
