Photoionization of atomic krypton confined in the fullerene C60
TLDR
In this article, the combined effects of interchannel coupling, relativistic interactions and endohedral confinement on the photoionization of atomic Kr are studied, and the confinement of the Kr atom placed at the centre of the C60 cage is modelled by placing the atom inside an annular spherical potential.Abstract:
The combined effects of interchannel coupling, relativistic interactions and endohedral confinement on the photoionization of atomic Kr are studied. The confinement of the Kr atom placed at the centre of the C60 cage is modelled by placing the atom inside an annular spherical potential. Cross sections for the photoionization and angular distribution of photoelectrons from the 4p, 4s, 3d and 3p subshells are reported within the framework of the relativistic-random-phase approximation.read more

Kinetics and kinematics for translational motions in microgravity during parabolic flight.
TL;DR: The goal is to combine kinetic and kinematic data to examine translational motions during microgravity adaptations to encourage fine-control motions as these reduce the risk of injury and increase controllability.

TL;DR: This work clears a path towards higher PCEs in OPV devices by demonstrating that high-yield charge separation can occur with OPV systems that have a reduced donor/acceptor lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy offset.

Confined many-electron systems
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of spatial confinement on the physical and chemical properties of many quantum mechanical systems is discussed, including low-dimensional electron gas or impurity atoms in artificial mesoscopic scale semiconductor structures as well as atoms and molecules trapped in microscopic cavities like molecular zeolite sieves.

Fullerene-based electron-spin quantum computer
TL;DR: In this article, an alternative concept for a scalable spin quantum computer that combines aspects of other proposals with the advantageous features of endohedral fullerenes was proposed, where electron spins instead of nuclear spins are used and that the manipulation of fullerene molecules is fairly easy.

Structure and photoionization of confined atoms
TL;DR: Phenomenological approaches on the basis of simple model potentials for the description of various situations where the atom is spacially confined, such as as atoms inside a C60-like environment or in impenetrable cavities of small radii are reviewed along with the trends in modifications in structure and photoionization of such confined atoms as mentioned in this paper.
