Inner-Shell Ionization and Fragmentation of Isolated Endohedral Fullerene Ions by XUV Radiation

摘要

The photona??ion merged-beams technique for photoabsorption studies of ionized nanoparticles with synchrotron radiation is introduced. As an example, recent results from photoionization and photofragmentation of the endohedral fullerene ions Lu3 N @ C 80 + , Lu3 N @ C 80 2 + , and Lu3 N @ C 80 3 + are briefly discussed, highlighting the sensitivity and versatility of the experimental technique.
