"Bucky-shuttle" memory device
We investigate the internal dynamics of a related model system, consisting of a K@C+60 endohedral complex enclosed in a C480 nanocapsule. We show this to be a tunable two-level system, where transitions between the two states can be induced by applying an electric field between the C480 end caps, and discuss its potential application as a nonvolatile memory element.
