Abstract
We evaluate the effects of heterogeneity on the density of states of H2 molecules inside interstitial channels within bundles of carbon nanotubes. As temperature (T) falls, the density increases within those tubes having the greatest binding energy. At T ~ 10 mK, the molecules undergo Bose-Einstein condensation, exhibiting a singular heat capacity.
