Semiclassical Calculation of Recurrence Spectra of He Rydberg Atom in Strong External Fields

Using core-scattered closed-orbit theory and region-splitting iterative method, we calculated the scaled recurrence spectra of helium atom in parallel electric and magnetic fields. Closed orbits in the corresponding classical system have also been obtained. When we search the closed orbits, in order to remove the Coulomb singularity of the classical Hamiltonian motion equations, we implement the Kustaanheimo-Stiefel transformation, which transforms the system from a three-dimensional to a four-dimensional one. The Fourier transformed spectrum of helium atom has allowed direct comparison between peaks in such plot and the scaled action values of closed orbits. The results are compared with those of the hydrogen case, which shows that the core-scattered effects play an important role in the recurrence spectra of the multi-electron Rydberg atom.     

Absorption and Recurrence Spectra of Nonhydrogenic Rydberg Atom Near a Metal Surface

Multielectron to theoretical treatments atoms near a metal surface are essentially more complicated than hydrogen atom with regard By using the semicalssical dosed orbit theory generalized to the multielecton atoms, we study the dynamical properties of the Rydberg lithium atom near a metal surface. The photoabsorption spectra and recurrence spectra of this system have also been calculated. Considering the effect of the ionic core potential of the Rydberg lithium atom, the number of the closed orbits increases, which leads to more peaks in the recurrence spectra than the case of hydrogen atom near a metal surface. This result shows that the core-scattered effects play an important role in nonhydrogenic atoms. This study is a new application of the closed-orbit theory and is of potential experimental interest.     

Absorption and Recurrence Spectra of Li Rydberg Atom in Perpendicular Electric and Magnetic Fields

We develop the semi-closed orbit theory from two degrees of freedom to three non-separable degrees of freedom and put forward a new model potential for the Li Rydberg atom, which reduces the study of the system to an effective one-particle problem. Using this model potential and the closed orbit theory for three degrees of freedom, we calculate the recurrence spectra of Li Rydberg atom in perpendicular electric and magnetic fields. The closed orbits in the corresponding classical system have also been obtained. The Fourier transformed spectra of Li atom have allowed direct comparison between the resonance peaks and the scaled action values of closed orbits, whereas the nonhydrogenic resonance can be explained in terms of the new orbits created by the core scattering. Our result is in good agreement with the quantum spectra, which suggests that our calculation is correct.     

The closed-orbit and the photoabsorption spectra of lithium atom in varying＇magnetic fields

Using a simple analytic formula from closed orbit theory, we have calculated the photoabsorption spectra of Li atom in different magnetic fields. Closed orbits in the corresponding classical system have also been obtained for B=5.96T.We demonstrate schematically that the closed orbits disappear gradually with the decrease of the magnitude of the magnetic field. This gives us a good method to control the closed orbits in the corresponding system by changing the magnetic field, and thus changing the peaks in the photoabaorption spectra. By comparing the photoabsorption spectra of Li atom with those of hydrogen case, we find the core-scattered effects play an important role in multi-electron Rydberg atoms.

Recurrence spectra of Li atom in strong external fields

Based upon our previous work [Commun. Theor. Phys.. 40,702 (2003)], we developed the closed orbit theory from two degrees of freedom to three non-separable degrees of freedom and calculated the recurrence spectra of Li Rydberg atom in strong perpendicular electric and magnetic fields.

Recurrence spectra of non—hydrogen Rydberg atoms in paralled electric and magnetic fields

We present a new method for computing the recurrence spectra of n≈40, m=0 lithium Rydberg atoms in strong parallel external electric and magnetic fields. This method is based on an extended closed-orbit theory allowing the computation of the scattering of the electron by the ionic core. We pay particular attention to the scaling properties, which are extremely important for understanding the correspondence between classical and quantum mechanics. The spectra with a constant scaled electric field \tilde F=0.01 and a scaled energy ε=-0.03 are recorded and compared with those of hydrogen obtained by the standard closed-orbit theory. The result shows that the additional strong resonance structures can be interpreted in terms of the core-scattered classical closed orbits.     

Recurrence spectra of He atoms in strong external fields

1 Introduction The photo-absorption phenomenon of high Rydberg atoms in strong external fields has attracted much attention in recent years. The semiclassical closed-orbit theory[1,2] developed by Du and Delos has been extensively used to explain this phenomenon. This theory has successfully calculated and interpreted the photo-absorption spectra of H- in various external fields[3,4] and has been applied to describe the photo-excitation, wave packet dynamics of some atoms and molecules such…     

Scattering matrix theory for Cs Rydberg atoms in magnetic field

Based on the closed orbit theory framework together with the quantum defect theory and time-independent scattering matrices theory, we calculate the recurrence spectra of diamagnetic Cs atoms at several different scaled energies near the second ionization threshold. It is revealed that the new extra peaks in spectra are attributed to the combination recurrences of semiclassical closed orbits arising from core-scattered events. This method considers the dynamic states of the Rydberg electron in the core region and long-range region and can be analytically resumed to include all orders of core-scattering automatically. With this approach a convergent recurrence spectrum can be reasonably achieved. It is found that the spectral complexity depends highly sensitively on the scaled energy. With the increase of the scaled energy, the spectral structure changes from simple to complicate and the dynamic feature from regular to chaotic. The comparison of the recurrence spectra with Dando’s result under the same conditions demonstrates that there exist some similarities and differences between them, and furthermore, the feasibility of the scattering matrix method is explained.

Semiclassical Calculation of Recurrence Spectra of Li Rydberg Atom in Crossed Electric and Magnetic Field

Closed-orbit theory is a semiclassical technique for explaining the spectra of Rydberg atoms in external fields. Using the dosed-orblt theory and classical perturbation theory, we calculate the scaled recurrence spectra of Lithium atom in magnetic field plus a weak perpendicular electric field. The results show when the crossed electric field is added, the recurrence spectra are weakened greatly. As the scaled electric field f increases, the peaks of the recurrence spectra lose strength. Some recurrences are very sensitive and fall off rapidly as f increases, others persist till much higher f. As the electric field is stronger, some of the peaks revive. This phenomenon, caused by the interference among the electron waves that return to the nucleus, can be computed from the azimuthal dependence of the classical closed orbits.

Semiclassical calculation of Rydberg He2^＋ molecular of recurrence spectra ion in a magnetic field

Making use of the molecular closed-orbit theory and a new model potential for the Rydberg molecule, we have calculated the recurrence spectra of He^2＋ molecular ion in a magnetic field for different quantum defects. The Fourier transform spectra of He^2＋ molecular ion may be used to perform a direct comparison between peaks in the spectra and the scaled action values of closed orbits of the excited electron in external fields. We find that the spectral modulations can be analysed in terms of the scattering of the excited electron on the molecular core. Unlike the case of the Rydberg atom where the elastic scattering is predominant, modulations produced by inelastic scattering are also vital to the photoabsorption spectrum of the Rydberg molecule. Our results are in good agreement with the quantum results, which suggests that our method is correct.     

Harmonic Inversion of Recurrence Spectra of Nonhydrogen Atom in an Electric Field

An extended harmonic inversion method is analytically continued to approach bifurcation region of the dosed orbits thus to obtain highly resolved spectra of lithium atom in external field. The suitable band-limited signal is generated by a semielassieal uniform approximation. By decimating the selected signal window and solving the algebraic set of nonlinear equations the quantum eigenvalues are properly fitted, which reveal the fine resonance structure hidden in low resolution spectrum. The study is made at the sealed energy ε= -2.7, relevant bifurcation effects and corescattered impacts have to be taken into account. It is demonstrated that the present method is a useful technique for the semiclassieal quantization of system with mixed regular-chaotic classical dynamics.     

Short-ranged potential effects on the recurrence spectra of lithium M = 1 atoms in parallel electric and magnetic fields

This paper presents recurrence spectra of highly excited lithium atoms with M = 1 state in parallel electric and magnetic fields at a fixed scaled energy ε = -0.03. Short-ranged potentials including ionic core potential and centrifugal barrier are taken into account. Their effects on the states and photo-absorption spectrum are analysed in detail. This demonstrates that the geometric features of classical orbits are of special importance for modulations of the spectral pattern. Thus the weak polarization as well as the reduction of correlation of electrons induced by short-ranged potentials give rise to the recurrence spectra of lithium M = 1 atoms more compact than that of the M = 0 one, which is in good agreement with the experimental prediction.

Recurrence Spectra of the Rydberg Hydrogen Atom near Two Parallel Metal Surfaces

Using closed orbit theory, we study the influence of the two parallel metal surfaces on the recurrence spectra of a hydrogen atom placed in the region between the two surfaces. The results show that the metal surfaces have significant effect on the photoabsorption process. Each resonance peak in the recurrence spectra is associated with one electronic closed orbit. In our work, we put the first metal surface at the critical value dc and vary the second metal surface. The results show that when the distances between the hydrogen atom and the two metal surfaces are close to the critical valuedc, the number of the closed orbits is the greatest and there are more peaks in the recurrence spectra. When the distance between the atom and the second metal surface is larger or smaller than dc, the number of the closed orbits decreases and there are fewer peaks in the recurrence spectra. The agreement between the semiclassical calculation spectra and the quantum calculation spectra suggests that our analysis is correct.
