Abstract.

We present detailed calculations of the diffraction pattern of a powder of bundles of C60 peapods. The influence of all pertinent structural parameters of the bundles on the diffraction diagram is discussed, which should lead to a better interpretation of X-ray and neutron diffraction diagrams. We illustrate our formalism for X-ray scattering experiments performed on peapod samples synthesized from 2 different technics, which present different structural parameters. We propose and test different criteria to solve the difficult problem of the filling rate determination.

  24. In the case of C70-peapods, not detailed in this article, there can be different C70-C70 distances depending on the molecule orientations [16]. The extension of the formalism presented here can be applied to C70 after modification of the basis equations (6) or (12). The subsequent powder average formulation becomes a little bit more complicated since the molecular form factor depends on the wave-vector and not only on its modulus

  25. The maximum of the asymmetric peak originating from the C60 chains is situated at \(Q=2\pi /L = 0.66\) −1 for infinite chains. For finite chains, it becomes less abrupt and its maximum shifts to higher Q values (namely, 0.68 −1 for chains of 40 molecules in Fig. 3)

  27. The compensation leads to a zero value of the intensity for peapods of infinite lengths, and to values close to zero for finite lengths
