Effect of C giant resonance on the photoabsorption of encaged atoms
The absolute differential oscillator strengths (DOS's) for the
photoabsorption of the Ne, Ar, and Xe atoms encapsulated in the C have
been evaluated using the time-dependent-density-functional-theory, which solves
the quantum Liouvillian equation with the Lanczos chain method. The
calculations are performed in the energy regions both inside and outside the
C giant resonance. The photoabsorption spectra of the atoms encaged in
the C demonstrate strong oscillations inside the energy range of the
C giant resonance. This type of oscillation cannot be explained by the
confinement resonance, but is due to the energy transfer from the C
valence electrons to the photoelectron through the intershell coupling
Rigorous negative-ion binding energies in low-energy electron elastic collisions with heavy multi-electron atoms and fullerene molecules: validation of electron affinities
Dramatically sharp resonances manifesting stable negative-ion formation
characterize Regge pole-calculated low-energy electron elastic total cross
sections (TCSs) of heavy multi-electron systems. The novelty of the Regge pole
analysis is in the extraction of rigorous and unambiguous negative-ion binding
energies (BEs), corresponding to the measured electron affinities (EAs) of the
investigated multi-electron systems. The measured EAs have engendered the
crucial question: is the EA of multi-electron atoms and fullerene molecules
identified with the BE of the attached electron in the ground, metastable or
excited state of the formed negative-ion during collision? Inconsistencies in
the meaning of the measured EAs are elucidated.Comment: 16 pages and 5 Figures. Submitted to Atoms for publication. arXiv

Photoionization of Ce - Ce
Photoionization of the Ce - Ce process has been studied using
the random phase approximation with exchange method in the energy region
100-150 eV. Comparison of our results with the recent measurement [M\"uller
{\it et al}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 101}, 133001 (2008)] confirms the
suppression effect of the carbon cage in the endohedral fullerene Ce@C
photoionization. The reasons for the cause of the confinement resonance and the
suppression effect are discussed.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figure
