Photoionization cross section of the fullerene ion C60+ has been calculated within a single-electron approximation and also by using a consistent many-body theory accounting for many-electron correlations.
Considering C$_{60}$ as a model system for describing field emission from the extremity of a carbon nanotip, we explore electron emission from this fullerene excited by an intense, near-infrared, few-cycle laser pulse…

Photoionization of two buckyonions, C$_{60}$@C$_{240}$ and C$_{20}$@C$_{60}$, is investigated by means of time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT). The TDDFT-based photoabsorption spectrum of C$_{60}$@C$_{240}$, calculated in a…
Intense X-ray photo-absorption from short and intense pulses by a molecule triggers complicated electron and subsequently ion dynamics leading to photo-electron spectra which are difficult to interpret. Illuminating fullerenes offers a way…

We have observed that C$_{60}^+$ ions isolated in cryogenic matrixes show pronounced near-IR photoluminescence upon excitation in the near-IR range. By contrast UV photoexcitation does not lead to measurable luminescence. After the recent…

The optical interference constitutes a paramount resource in modern physics. At the scale of individual atoms and photons, it is a diverse concept that causes different coherent phenomena. We present the experimental characterization of…
In this work, we investigate the photoionization cross-section of an electron confined in a quantum dot, considering the position-dependent variation of the effective mass through the parameter $\gamma$. We used a theoretical model based on…
The decay of photoexcited quantum systems (examples are photodissociation of molecules and autoionization of atoms) can be viewed as a half-collision process (an incoming photon excites the system which subsequently decays by dissociation…
When an atom or molecule absorbs a high-energy photon, an electron is emitted with a well-defined energy and a highly-symmetric angular distribution, ruled by energy quantization and parity conservation. These rules seemingly break down…
