Abstract: X-ray diffraction patterns for a solid sample of Ce@C_<82> that contains a mixture of two isomers, I and II, can be indexed in a face-centered cubic lattice with a lattice constant of 15.88(5)Å, while x-ray diffraction patterns for Ce@C_<82> isomer I alone indicate a simple cubic lattice with a lattice constant of 15.78(1) Å. Rietveld refinement for the x-ray diffraction pattern of the latter, Ce@C_<82> isomer I, has been carried out with a space group of Pa3^- . Thin films of Ce@C_<82> were first prepared by thermal deposition under ~10^<-7> Torr. The Raman spectra for these thin films show a peak ascribable to a Ce-C_<82> cage-stretching mode at ~160 cm^<-1>, implying that the valence of Ce in this structure is +3. This valence of +3 is supported by Ce L_III-edge XANES for a thin film of Ce@C_<82> . Furthermore, the local structure around the Ce ion could be determined by Ce L_III-edge EXAFS for a thin-film. Transport properties of a thin film of Ce@C_<82> have been studied by a four-probe method, and these demonstrate a semiconducting behavior with a small gap of 0.4 eV.
