Abstract

The high-energy spectroscopic study of the electronic structure of fullerenes and their compounds in the solid state is reviewed. It is shown that photoemission and electron energy-loss spectroscopy in transmission provide powerful tools for the experimental study of the electronic structure of solid C₆₀, C₇₀ and higher fullerenes, as well as the compounds formed by their intercalation with alkali and alkaline-earth metals. Topical issues in the field are addressed, such as the role played by electron correlation, disorder and electron-phonon coupling.
