Title: Photoionization and photofragmentation of the $C_{60}^{+}$ molecular ion

Abstract

Cross-section measurements are reported for single and double photoionization of C$$+\atop{60}$$ ions in the photon energy range 18-150 eV accompanied by the loss of zero to seven pairs of carbon atoms, as well as for fragmentation without ionization resulting in loss of two to eight pairs of C atoms in the photon energy range 18-65 eV. Absolute measurements were performed by merging a beam of C$$+\atop{60}$$ molecular ions with a beam of monochromatized synchrotron radiation. Product channels involving dissociation yielding smaller fullerene fragment ions account for nearly half of the total measured oscillator strength in this energy range. The sum of cross sections for the measured product channels is compared to a published calculation of the total photoabsorption cross section of neutral C₆₀ based on time-dependent density-functional theory. Lastly, this comparison and an accounting of oscillator strengths indicate that with the exception of C$$+\atop{58}$$, the most important product channels resulting from photoabsorption were accounted for in the experiment. Threshold energies for the successive removal of carbon atom pairs accompanying photoionization are also determined from the measurements.

Cross sections for photoionization of fullerene molecular ions $C {_{n}}^{+}$ with $n$ = 40, 50, 70, 76, 78, and 84

Journal Article Thomas, C. M. ; Baral, K. K. ; Aryal, N. B. ; ... - Physical Review A

Absolute cross-section measurements are reported for single photoionization of C_n⁺ fullerene molecular ions (n=40, 50, 70, 76, 78, and 84) in the photon-energy range 18-70 eV. The experiments were performed by merging a mass and charge selected beam of C_n⁺ molecular ions with a beam of monochromatized synchrotron radiation and measuring the yield of C_n²⁺ product ions as a function of the photon energy. Oscillator strengths determined by integrating the measured cross sections over this energy range exhibit a linear dependence on n. The cross sections are parametrized by fits to three Lorentzian functions to represent plasmon excitations and amore »« less

Journal Article Müller, A. ; Lindroth, E. ; Bari, S. ; ... - Physical Review A

In a joint experimental and theoretical endeavor, photoionization of metastable C⁴⁺(1s2s³S₁) ions via intermediate levels with hollow, double-K-vacancy configurations 2s2p, 2s3p, 2p3s, 2p3d, 2s4p, 2p4s, and 2p4d has been investigated. High-resolution photon-ion merged-beams measurements were carried out with the resolving power reaching up to 25 800 which is sufficient to separate the leading fine-structure components of the 2s2p ³P term. Many-body perturbation theory was employed to determine level-to-level cross sections for K-shell excitation with subsequent autoionization. The resonance energies were calculated with inclusion of electron correlation and radiative contributions. Their uncertainties are estimated to be below ±1 meV. Detailed balancemore »« less
