The transmission of low-energy (<1.8eV) photoelectrons through the shell of core-shell aerosol particles is studied for liquid squalane, squalene, and DEHS shells. The photoelectrons are exclusively formed in the core of the particles by…
We study the electronic states of giant single-shell and the recently discovered nested multi-shell carbon fullerenes within the tight-binding approximation. We use two different approaches, one based on iterations and the other on…
Over 150 solvents have been so far probed to dissolve light fullerenes - with quite moderate success. Based on unusual electronic properties of the C60 fullerene and room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs), we hereby propose to use their…
We previously predicted [P.A. Hervieux et al., Phys. Rev. A \textbf{95}, 020701 (2017)] that owing to predominant electron capture by incoming positrons from the molecular shell, C$_{60}$ acts like a spherical diffractor inducing resonances…
We observe, with angle-resolved photoemission, a dramatic change in the electronic structure of two C60 monolayers, deposited respectively on Ag (111) and (100) substrates, and similarly doped with potassium to half-filling of the C60…
We study the local distortion of the atomic structure in small biological samples illuminated by x-ray free electron laser (XFEL) pulses. We concentrate on the effect of inhomogenities: heavy atoms in a light matrix and non-homogeneous…
It is demonstrated that in photoabsorption by endohedral atoms some atomic Giant resonances are almost completely destroyed while the others are totally preserved due to different action on it of the fullerenes shell. As the first example…
We reveal that the periodic radius modulation peculiar to one-dimensional (1D) peanut-shaped fullerene (C$_{60}$) polymers exerts a strong influence on their low-frequency phonon states and their interactions with mobile electrons. The…

Fullerenes are known to be polarizable due to the strained carbon-carbon bonds and high surface curvature. Electronic polarization of fullerenes is of steady practical importance, since it leads to non-additive interactions and, therefore,…

For the asymmetric spherical dimer of an endohedrally confined atom and a host fullerene, an innershell vacancy of either system can decay through the continuum of an outer electron hybridized between the systems. Such decays, viewed as…
We provide the initial insight into the angle-differential photodetachment spectra of fullerene anions beyond the dipole approximation by utilizing a broadly used modelling of C$_{n}$. In the model, the C$_{n}$ cage is approximated by a…
Strutinsky shell corrections for the Cesium-coated fullerenes were investigated. The single particle levels of electrons are obtained using the spherical mean-field potential of a shifted Wood-Saxon type. The parameters of the potential are…

We provide a detailed quantitative study of the possible role of a small admixture of harmonics on resonant two-photon ionization. The motivation comes from the occasional presence of 2nd and 3rd harmonics in FEL radiation. We obtain the…
