Abstract

The imaging and characterization of individual molecules and atomically thin, effectively one-dimensional crystals of rock salt and other halides encapsulated within single-walled carbon nanotubes are reviewed in this article. These species were imaged by conventional and super-resolved high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and by scanning tunneling microscopy, revealing the detailed atomic structure of these nanoscopic species.
