摘要: Abstract The stability of H2 molecules trapped inside a 720 carbon atoms fullerene (C720) was studied using the path integral Monte Carlo formalism. change in free energy with respect to as function computed alchemy methods coupled replica exchange algorithms. most stable number and maximum that could be C720 were obtained at T = 300  K 200 K. Modifications interparticle potential considered increase trapping capacity C720. Four clearly defined concentric layers molecular fluid phase observed loading are acceptable for efficient storages.
