Klein Paradox With Spin-Resolved Electrons And Positrons, P Krekora, Q Su, Rainer Grobe Dec 2005

Klein Paradox With Spin-Resolved Electrons And Positrons, P Krekora, Q Su, Rainer Grobe

Faculty publications – Physics

Using numerical solutions to relativistic quantum field theory with space-time resolution, we illustrate how an incoming electron wave packet with a definite spin scatters off a supercritical potential step. We show that the production rate is reduced of only those electrons that have the same spin as the incoming electron is reduced. This spin-resolved result further clarifies the importance of the Pauli-exclusion principle for the Klein paradox.


Electron-Impact Ionization Of Hydrogen And Lithiumlike Systems, M A. Uddin, Abul Kalam Fazlul Haque, A K. Basak, Khondkar R. Karim, B C. Saha Sep 2005

Electron-Impact Ionization Of Hydrogen And Lithiumlike Systems, M A. Uddin, Abul Kalam Fazlul Haque, A K. Basak, Khondkar R. Karim, B C. Saha

Faculty publications – Physics

The electron impact single ionization cross sections on a number of targets with atomic number Z=1-92 in the H and Li isoelectronic sequences are calculated using a modified version of the recently propounded relativisitic improved binary-encounter dipole (MRIBED) model [M. A. Uddin , Phys. Rev. A 70, 032706 (2004); 71, 032715 (2005)]. The modified RQIBED (MRIBED) model along with a Z-dependent factor in it is found remarkably successful in the applications to H- and Li-like systems and also valid for the ionization of a filled s orbit including the He-like targets.

Faculty publications – Physics

The total cross sections of electron impact single K-shell ionization of atomic targets, with a wide range of atomic numbers from Z=6-50, are evaluated in the energy range up to about 10 MeV employing the recently proposed modified version of the improved binary-encounter dipole (RQIBED) model [Uddin , Phys. Rev. A 70, 032706 (2004)], which incorporates the ionic and relativistic effects. The experimental cross sections for all targets are reproduced satisfactorily even in the relativistic energies using fixed generic values of the two parameters in the RQIBED model. The relativistic effect is found to be significant in all targets except …
