Abstract
We have measured the far infrared transmittance of Sc-2@C-84 and Er-2@ C-82 at 1.5 K between 30 and 200 cm(-1). Both materials are observed t o have a large primary absorption feature centered at 95 cm(-1) with a width of approximately 50 cm(-1), as well as a number of secondary ab sorption features which are different in the two materials, This is th e first study of the far infrared properties of metallofullerenes and may help in the determination of the structural and electronic propert ies of these materials.
