Abstract

Fullerenes are a direct link between atoms with discrete electronic energy levels and solids with a band structure and a well-defined surface. In this paper, we report on a quantum mechanical treatment of charge transfer and ionization in the ion-ion collision system 3He2+ + C60+. This approach considers under- and over-barrier transitions through the one-dimensional barrier between the collision partners. The calculated cross sections for charge transfer compare favorably with experimental data measured in the center-of-mass energy range from 27 to 196 keV employing the crossed beams technique.
