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.

Confinement induced binding of noble gas atoms.

TL;DR: Electron density analysis shows that the He-He interaction in He2@B16N16 is of closed-shell type whereas for the same in He 2@B12N12 there may have some degree of covalent character, and confinement causes some type of orbital interaction between two He atoms, which akins to some degree.

TL;DR: In this paper, the dynamical and static dipole polarizabilities of the C 60 molecule have been calculated on the basis of the experimental data on the cross section of the fullerene photoabsorption.

Electronic structure and dynamics of confined atoms

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of investigations of the electronic structure and dynamics of atoms encaged in a single molecule is presented, where the major effects of confinement on the dynamical properties, e.g., confinement resonances, hybridization, Wigner time delay, are delineated.

Study of resonances in the photoionization of Ar@C 60 and C 60

TL;DR: In this article, the static exchange method is applied to investigate photoionization of a confined system, Ar@C60, which explicitly includes the position of each carbon atom in the C60, a considerable improvement over methods to address the structure and photo dynamics of a constrained system where the carbon shell is modelled by a spherically symmetric model potential.

Photoionization phase shift and Wigner time delay of endohedrally confined atoms using transient phase methods

TL;DR: In this article, two transient phase methods have been used to directly compute the photoionization phase shift and Wigner time delay of confined atoms (A@C60) in the single-active electron (SAE) approximation.

Photoionization of Atoms Encaged in Spherical Fullerenes

TL;DR: Two semi-empirical models for the photoionization of atoms A encaged in spherical single-walled fullerenes, both neutral C n (n = 60, 240 and 540) and charged C 60 ± | z |, as well as in multiwalled Fullerene onions, C 60@C 240 and C 60 @C 240 @C 540 are detailed in this paper.

Relativistic random phase approximation applied to atoms of the He isoelectronic sequence

TL;DR: In this paper, a relativistic version of the random phase approximation (RPA) is used to study allowed and forbidden radiative transitions in atoms, and the theory is applied to the He isoelectronic sequence to test its utility.

A study of the electron structure of endohedrally confined atoms using a model potential

TL;DR: In this article, a model potential for modeling the environment of atoms and molecules inside fullerenes is proposed taking into consideration that the electrons of the guest atom or molecule are affected by an attractive short-range Gaussian shell to simulate the Cn cage.

Giant enhancement in low energy photoemission of ar confined in C60.

TL;DR: Considering an Ar atom endohedrally sequestered in C60, a phenomenal increase in the photoionization cross section of the confined atom through the dominant outer 3p channel is predicted.
