28. Electron irradiation involves a momentum transfer to all atoms involved in metallofullerenes (and carbon nanotubes). As well as a C atom displacement by C-C bond breakages (knock-on effect), metal-atom diffusions inside the cage are also induced by irradiations, which help vacancy-type defects formed by the previous knock-on effects to catch a specific metal atom.

62. 82 molecule; a defect formation is initiated by the lifting-up of a C atom, bound to an adjacent C atom with a separation of 1.432 Å. The process requires an activation energy of 10.70 eV, which indicates that a C atom, bound to an adjacent C atom with the large separation (1.475 Å), as shown in Figure 3, is lifted up easily relative to that with the small separation (1.432 Å).
63. In the intermediate, the Gd atom coordinates to three carbon atoms; their separations are 2.234, 2.319, and 2.348 A. Interestingly, large spin densities are housed on the displaced C atom (0.87) and the Gd atom (7.28), and thus, another attractive interaction operates between the two atoms.
64. According to orbital interaction concepts, two-orbital two-electron interactions stabilize systems, whereas two-orbital four-electron interactions destabilize. A second-order perturbation concept tells us that the mixing between occupied and unoccupied orbitals makes an important contribution to stabilizations, when the energy difference between the two interacting orbitals is small.
