- A resonant Raman spectroscopy study has been carried out under high pressure, using a diamond anvil cell,on carbon nanotube peapods (C60@SWNT) synthesized in high yield in our laboratory. The Raman signal wasexcited by a near IR laser (830 nm) to avoid photopolymerization of C60 and thus obtain the intrinsic vibrationalinformation on the C60 molecules in the nanotubes. It is found that the surrounding tubes create aneffective pressure on the encapsulated C60 due to tube-fullerene interactions, resulting in a shift of the intrinsicAg(2) vibrational mode to 1474 cm−1 at ambient pressure. High pressure Raman spectroscopy indicates that(C60)2 dimers form near 1 GPa, and that a further polymerization of C60 occurs near 23 GPa, creating linearchains of covalently linked C60 molecules in the tubes.

- Materials with very high hydrogen density have attracted considerable interest due to a range of motivations, including the search for chemically precompressed metallic hydrogen and hydrogen storage applications. Using high-pressure synchrotron X-ray diffraction technique and theoretical calculations, we have discovered a new rhodium dihydride (RhH(2)) with high volumetric hydrogen density (163.7 g/L). Compressing rhodium in fluid hydrogen at ambient temperature, the fcc rhodium metal absorbs hydrogen and expands unit-cell volume by two discrete steps to form NaCl-typed fcc rhodium monohydride at 4 GPa and fluorite-typed fcc RhH(2) at 8 GPa. RhH(2) is the first dihydride discovered in the platinum group metals under high pressure. Our low-temperature experiments show that RhH(2) is recoverable after releasing pressure cryogenically to 1 bar and is capable of retaining hydrogen up to 150 K for minutes and 77 K for an indefinite length of time.
