Abstract

Using neutron diffraction, a second stage physintercalation of molecular N2 into C24Rb has been observed in which the N2 molecules reside inside every second Rb layer. The new phase, C48Rb2(N2)x, coexists below 175 K with pure C24Rb and the 1st stage C24Rb(N2)x. The tilt of the N2 molecular axes relative to the graphene planes was determined versus T using the nuclear resonance photon scattering (NRPS) technique and found to be almost parallel to the graphene planes of the C24Rb sample.
