Using $He@C_{60}$ as an example, we demonstrate that static potential of the fullerene core essentially alters the cross section of the two-electron ionization differential in one-electron energy $d\sigma ^{++}(\omega )/d\epsilon $. We…

Endohedral fullerenes, or endofullerenes, are chemical systems of fullerene cages encapsulating single atoms or small molecules. These species provide an interesting challenge of Potential Energy Surface (PES) determination as examples of…

Outermost occupied electron shells of chemical elements can have symmetries resembling that of monopoles, dipoles, quadrupoles and octupoles corresponding to filled s-, p-, d- and forbitals. Theoretically, elements with hexadecapolar outer…
