We discuss the complicated resonance structure of the endohedral atom photoionization cross section. Very strong enhancement and interference patterns in the photoionization cross-section of the valent and subvalent subshells of noble gas endohedral atoms A@C60 are demonstrated. It is shown also that the atomic Giant resonance can be either completely destroyed or remains almost untouched depending on the velocity of photoelectrons that are emitted in the resonances decay process. These effects are results of dynamic modification of the incoming beam of radiation due to polarization of the fullerenes electron shell and reflection of photoelectrons be the fullerenes shell static potential. We have considered the outer np- and subvalent ns-subshells for Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe noble gas atoms. The modification of the Giant resonances is considered for a whole sequence of endohedrals with atoms and ions Xe, Ba, La, Ce+, Ce+4, Eu. The polarization of the fullerene shell is expressed via the total photoabsorption cross section. The photoelectron reflection from the static potential is taken into account in the frame of the so-called bubble potential that is a spherical -type potential.

In this work, we apply the Monte Carlo wave packet method to study the ultrafast nuclear dynamics following inner-shell photoionization of N2 exposed to an ultrashort intense X-ray pulse. The photon energy of the X-ray pulse is large enough to remove a 1s electron from the N atom in N2. The intermediate state in N+2 is highly excited so that autoionization takes place from this state to the dissociative or non-dissociative electronic states of ungerade and gerade symmetries in N++2. The possible vibrational resonances allowed by the non-dissociative states prevents a direct extraction of the nuclear kinetic release (KER) spectrum from the nuclear wave packets in N++2. Therefore, we propose a hybrid technique by combining the advantages of two energy analysis strategies to obtain the final nuclear KER spectrum of the process. A femtosecond IR probe pulse, which couples the electronic states in N++2 together, is applied to achieve a time-resolved imaging and controlling of the ultrafast dynamics that takes place during double ionization of N2. The influence of the laser parameters including the peak intensity, pulse duration and pump-probe delay, on the nuclear dynamics is also investigated.

We demonstrate rather interesting manifestations of co-existence of resonance features in characteristics of the photoionization of 3d-electrons in Xe@C60. It is shown that the reflection of photoelectrons produced by the 3d Xe photoionization affects greatly partial photoionization cross-sections of and levels and respective angular anisotropy parameters, both dipole and non-dipole adding to all of them additional maximums and minimums. The calculations are performed treating the 3/2 and 5/2 electrons as electrons of different kinds with their spins up and down. The effect of C60 shell is accounted for in the frame of the orange skin potential model.
Spontaneous emission from individual atoms in vapor lasts nanoseconds, if not microseconds, and beatings in this emission involve only directly excited energy sublevels. In contrast, the superfluorescent emissions burst on a much-reduced timescale and their beatings involve both directly and indirectly excited energy sublevels. In this work, picosecond and femtosecond superfluorescent beatings are observed from a dense cesium atomic vapor. Cesium atoms are excited by 60-femtosecond long, 800 nm laser pulses via two-photon processes into their coherent superpositions of the ground 6S and excited 8S states. As a part of the transient four wave mixing process, the yoked superfluorescent blue light at lower transitions of 6S - 7P are recorded and studied. Delayed buildup time of this blue light is measured as a function of the input laser beam power using a high-resolution 2 ps streak camera. The power dependent buildup delay time is consistently doubled as the vapor temperature is lowered to cut the number of atoms by half. At low power and density, a beating with a period of 100 picoseconds representing the ground state splitting is observed. The autocorrelation measurements of the generated blue light exhibit a beating with a quasi-period of 230 fs corresponding to the splitting of the 7P level primarily at lower input laser power. Understanding and, eventually, controlling the intriguing nature of superfluorescent beatings may permit a rapid quantum operation free from the rather slow spontaneous emission processes from atoms and molecules.
In this paper, we discuss the results of our study of the synthesis of endohedral iron-fullerenes. A low energy Fe+ ion beam was irradiated to C60 thin film by using a deceleration system. Fe+-irradiated C60 thin film was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography and laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. We investigated the performance of the deceleration system for using a Fe+ beam with low energy. In addition, we attempted to isolate the synthesized material from a Fe+-irradiated C60 thin film by high performance liquid chromatography.

We investigate the linear behavior in the 2+ ion concentration observed in the double photoionization of a variety of aromatic molecules. We show it arises when the photoelectrons are emitted simultaneously. Neglecting the momentum of the incoming photon and the momentum transferred to the molecule, it follows that the momenta of the individual photoelectrons are oppositely directed and equal in magnitude. Under steady-state conditions, the ion concentration is proportional to the rate at which the ions are created which, in turn, varies as the product of the densities of states of the individual electrons. The latter vary as the square root of the kinetic energy, leading to overall linear behavior. The origin of the linear behavior in pyrrole and related molecules is attributed to the presence of atoms that destroy the periodicity of a hypothetical carbon loop. In contrast, the resonant behavior observed in pyridine and related molecules, where a fraction of the CH pairs is replaced by N atoms, is associated with electron transfer between the nitrogen atoms and carbon atoms that preserves the periodicity of the closed loop.
