Abstract

We have studied electron diffracion and core-level excitations of C 60 molecules encapsulated in single-wall carbon hanotubes, so-called, peapods, by electron energy-loss spectroscopy in transmission. The overall shape of the response of the single wall nanotube and the peapods is very similar but with distinct differences in the fine structure. The filling factor of C 60 peapods can be estimated with our volume-sensitive probe.
