Photoionization of open-shell nitrogen confined in C60

Endofullerene photoionization of open-shell N@C60 is investigated using a coupled-channel, correlated R-matrix approach with additional modifications for a finite spherical-shell fullerene potential. Particular focus is on the initial-state dependence of the photoionization cross section. Comparison...

Description
Summary:Endofullerene photoionization of open-shell N@C60 is investigated using a coupled-channel, correlated R-matrix approach with additional modifications for a finite spherical-shell fullerene potential. Particular focus is on the initial-state dependence of the photoionization cross section. Comparisons show significant differences between the 1s22s22p3(4S) initial state and the metastable 2D and 2P states, as well as strong confinement oscillations.
