Abstract: This paper presents an investigation of the structural properties of oriented A@SWNT peapods, where A represents any molecular species organized on a 1D cristalline chain inside the single wall nanotubes (SWNT). This study is based on the use of diffraction methods applied to the case of oriented A@SWNT samples. Two preferential orientations of tubes are considered, 1D (fiber) and 2D (pellet) both having an axial symmetry. We show that even in the case of samples presenting a very large mosaic, information about the correlation state between C 60 chains and about the C 60 polymerization, can be obtained provided that pertinent scans are performed. These are longitudinal scans along and perpendicularly to the symmetry axis accompanied by convenient constant Q scans. Detailed diffraction patterns are simulated in the case of a 2D oriented sample of C 60 @SWNT peapods (`bucky paper'). Copyright EDP Sciences/Società Italiana di Fisica/Springer-Verlag 2006
