Abstract

The photoionization cross section of the fullerene ion C+60 has been calculated within a single-electron approximation and also by using a consistent many-body theory accounting for many-electron correlations. Electronic wavefunctions of the ground and excited states have been determined within the jellium model based on the local density approximation. A giant resonance in the photoionization cross section at the photon energy ∼25 eV is predicted. It is demonstrated that the resonance profile is much higher and narrower than in the case of the neutral fullerene C60.
