Electron Detachment For H-(D-) In Collisions With Ne, T. S. Wang, John B. Delos

Arts & Sciences Articles

Total cross sections for electron detachment in collisions of H and D with Ne are calculated, using a model based on a first‐order solution to close‐coupled equations. Quantities needed for the calculation are the energy gap and the coupling between bound and free states. The energy gap is taken from previous calculations and the coupling is assumed to be of exponential form, with parameters adjusted to fit experimental data. Special examination is made of isotope effects in the cross sections.

Highly Excited States Of A Hydrogen Atom In A Strong Magnetic Field, John B. Delos, Stephen Knudson, D. W. Knudson

Arts & Sciences Articles

Classical trajectories and semiclassical energy eigenvalues are calculated for an atomic electron in a high Rydberg state in an external magnetic field. With the use of perturbation theory, a classical trajectory is described as a Kepler ellipse with orbital parameters evolving slowly with time. As they evolve, the ellipse rocks, tilts, and flips in space, but the length of its major axis remains approximately constant. Exact numerical calculations verify that perturbation theory is quite accurate for the cases considered (principal quantum number ≃ 30, magnetic field ≲ 6 T). Action variables are calculated from perturbation theory and from exact trajectories, …
