Abstract

We make a theoretical study of the shake-up of the 1s photoemission of C₆₀. The method takes into account the N-body reactions of the π and σ electrons which appear during the formation of the photoemission hole on one carbon atom. We analyze the origin of the satellite in the spectra due to transitions between N-body states. Our calculation shows that the satellite spectra is essentially given by N-body transitions which involve the creation of one or two electron-hole pairs. The method has been applied also to C₄₈N₁₂. The situation is more complex. The spectra of the two most stable species have been investigated. Moreover the influence on the spectra of the position of the hole created on the carbon atom in C₄₈N₁₂ has been examined (all the carbon positions are not equivalent for some isomers).
