Abstract

Within the framework of a model of a hollow atom as a hydrogenlike multicharged ion located at the center of a spherical shell formed by highly excited electrons, the photoionization cross sections of the inner $1s$ level of the ion have been calculated. The results show that the existence of the outer electronic shell of the hollow atom results in oscillations in the energy dependence of the photoionization cross section. It has been demonstrated also that the photoionization cross section as a function of photon energy is extremely sensitive to the magnitude of the discontinuity of the electric field at the surface of the outer electronic shell.
