摘要：

Spherical objects (presumably C-60 molecules) have been observed inside similar to 14 Angstrom diameter single-wall carbon nanotubes. We applied acid etching to access the interior of the tubes, and leaching in toluene to dissolve liberated C-60. Quantitative UV-Vis of the 335 nm C-60 transition establishes beyond doubt that these are indeed C-60, and that their relative abundance in a macroscopic sample can be as high as 5.4% (expressed as the filled fraction of total tube length). Variations in abundance with growth and processing conditions provide clues as to how they form. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
