Photoionization of Ce${}^{3+}$ - Ce${}^{4+}$

Abstract

Photoionization of the Ce${}^{3+}$ - Ce${}^{4+}$ 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 [Müller {\it et al}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 101}, 133001 (2008)] confirms the suppression effect of the carbon cage in the endohedral fullerene Ce@C${}_{82}^{+}$ photoionization. The reasons for the cause of the confinement resonance and the suppression effect are discussed.
