Abstract

Recent work1 has highlighted the possibility that through the introduction of metals into the one-dimensional channels of zeolite L, it may be feasible to engineer charge transport along the channels to produce a unique compound comprising a precise, assembled array of ultrafine, atomic-scale conducting wires embedded within the aluminosilicate framework. Using electron spin resonance (ESR), and microwave cavity perturbation measurements, we examine the properties of these remarkable materials as a function of composition as they approach the insulator to metal transition.
