Atomic Clock Based on Endohedral Fullerene NO@C60: Determination of Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) Parameters

Abstract

The goal of this study was to apply density functional theory (DFT) to determine if a nitric oxide (NO) radical encapsulated in a 60-carbon (C60) fullerene, endohedral fullerene NO@C60, is a suitable candidate for the development of portable condensed-matter, molecular atomic clocks. In order to assess the potential of NO@C60 to function as an accurate and reliable frequency standard, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) parameters (hyperfine coupling constant and electronic g-factor) were calculated using the DFT method.
