Abstract
International audienceWe measured the electric polarizability of NaNC60 (N = 1–34) molecules. The experimental values can be interpreted by the existence of a permanent electric dipole for every size. This cannot be explained by a metal shell around the C60, but this is in agreement with a sodium cluster bound to the C60Keywords
