Group Theoretical Studies Of The Periodic Chart And Of Configuration Mixing In The Ground State Of Helium, Yutaka Kitagawara Jan 1977

Group Theoretical Studies Of The Periodic Chart And Of Configuration Mixing In The Ground State Of Helium, Yutaka Kitagawara

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Recently Wulfman found great merit in Barut's idea on atomic super-multiplets, and he introduced the concept of the generalized Hamiltonian that is the Hamiltonian of all atoms. 24 Investigating the Schrodinger equation with this generalized Hamiltonian, it should be possible to relate the properties of different atoms and find the structure of the periodic chart from fundamental principles of dynamics and group theory. One can can use the same kinds of methods for relating the properties of different states of a single hydrogen atom with the aid of the degeneracy group S0 (4) and dynamical group SO (4, 2). These …


Excitation Of Hydrogen Atoms By Fast Protons, Edward Ellis Fitchard Jan 1970

Excitation Of Hydrogen Atoms By Fast Protons, Edward Ellis Fitchard

Physics Theses & Dissertations

In this thesis a theoretical study is made of excitation of hydrogenic atom by charged particles such as protons or electrons. The approximation to the cross section for an inelastic scattering process is obtained under the following radically simplifying assumptions. The projectile is represented in its initial and final state by plane waves. All distortions are neglected whether they originate in an inelastic process or an elastic deflections of the charged particle by the nucleus. The perturbation of the atomic orbits between which the projectile induces transitions is neglected. Nonrelativistic hydrogenic wave functions are used for the electronic states. In …
