The embedded rare earth fullerenes are molecular nanomaterials with novel electronic properties. The interaction of rare earth elements with carbon cages at the subnanometer scale leads to novel electrical, optical and magnetic properties. At present, how to use the electronic properties of embedded rare earth fullerenes to achieve innovative applications is one of the core scientific problems in this field. We have found that the electron spin properties of embedded rare earth fullerenes are of great value, and have taken the lead in the study of molecular spin materials based on embedded rare earth fullerenes. The current research focuses on two directions: 1) synthesis, structure and properties of embedded rare earth fullerenes; 2) Electronic spin materials and functions based on embedded rare earth fullerenes.
