Double Photoionization of Endohedrally Confined Atoms

الملخص EN

We study the double electronic emission by photon impact from ground state of two-electron atoms in the center of a model spherical fullerene, which is described by a square-well shell.

Cross-sections for different well depth are computed within a separable model for the final state, and a configuration interaction state for the initial one.

Triple differential cross-sections show a strong dependence on the well depth and on the energy of the emitted electrons, due to the delocalization of the electrons in the initial state.

The fullerene potential also allows higher angular momenta partial waves to be included in the process, which modifies the well-known two-lobe cross-section from isolated atom.
