Abstract
Samples containing endohedral metallofullerenes of gadolinium (Gd@C-82) and dysprosium (Dy@C-82) are investigated by the Rutherford backscattering of protons. It is shown that the concentration of endohedral metallofullerenes can be determined to within a few percent. The measured concentration of e ndohedral metallofullerenes Gd@C-82 and Dy@C-82 in samples prepared by sele ctive multistep extraction is similar to 60%. (C) 1999 American Institute o f Physics.
