Photoionization and photofragmentation of ${{\rm{Sc}}}_{3}{{\rm{N@C}}}_{80}^{+}$ at energies from the carbon K edge to the scandium L and nitrogen K edges

Photoionization of endohedral \({{\rm{Sc}}}_{3}{{\rm{N@C}}}_{80}^{+}\) fullerene ions is investigated using synchrotron radiation in the energy range 280 to 420 eV. In the product channels \({{\rm{Sc}}}_{3}{{\rm{N@C}}}_{80}^{2+}\) and \({{\rm{Sc}}}_{3}{{\rm{N@C}}}_{78}^{2+}\) clear signaiures of the cross section contributions arising from L-shell photoabsorption by the encapsulated Sc atoms have been detected.
