Path Integral Formalism for Line Broadening in Plasmas: Lyman‐α case

Using the path integral formalism, the fine structure and dynamics effects are taken into account for the study of the spectral line broadening in plasmas. A compact expression of the dipolar autocorrelation function (DAF) for an emitter in the plasma is derived for Lyman alpha lines with fine structure. The expression of the DAF takes into account the dynamics effects, which are represented by the time autocorrelation function of the electric microfield. The spectral line for the Lyman‐alpha case has been obtained in a compact form and plotted in the quasi‐static approximation and compared to a line obtained by a simulation.

Path integral approach to electron scattering in classical electromagnetic potential

As is known to all, the electron scattering in classical electromagnetic potential is one of the most widespread applications of quantum theory. Nevertheless, many discussions about electron scattering are based upon single-particle Schrodinger equation or Dirac equation in quantum mechanics rather than the method of quantum field theory. In this paper, by using the path integral approach of quantum field theory, we perturbatively evaluate the scattering amplitude up to the second order for the electron scattering by the classical electromagnetic potential. The results we derive are convenient to apply to all sorts of potential forms. Furthermore, by means of the obtained results, we give explicit calculations for the one-dimensional electric potential.     

Stark Broadening of F III Lines in Laboratory and Stellar Plasma

Using a semiclassical approach, we have considered electron-, proton-, and ionized helium-impact line widths and shifts for the F III 2p^{3 4}S^o-3s ⁴P resonant line. Moreover, for 10 F III multiplets where the full semiclassical perturbation approach is not applicable in an adequate way due to the lack of reliable atomic data, electron-impact line widths have been calculated within the modified semiempirical approach. Results are obtained as a function of temperature for perturber density of 10¹⁷ cm⁻³. The theoretical data obtained have been used to consider the influence of Stark broadening for A-type star atmosphere conditions. __________ Published in Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 72, No. 3, pp. 412–415, May–June, 2005.

Comparison of quantum, semiclassical and classical methods in hydrogen broadening of nitrogen lines

We use an accurate N₂-H₂ab initio potential energy surface (PES) in order to inter-compare various methods commonly employed to calculate pressure broadening coefficients. Close-coupling (CC) calculations of the collisional linewidths of the isotropic Raman lines of N₂ perturbed by H₂ are performed for temperatures between 77 and 2000 K. The CC results compare well with available experimental values. Three less exact methods of calculation are also used: the full classical (FC) model of Gordon, the semiclassical (SC) formalism of Robert and Bonamy and the quantum dynamical coupled states (CS) method. The CS method provides good agreement with CC calculations for all studied temperatures, FC calculations can be considered as accurate above room temperature while the SC method gives overestimated values by about 20-30% in all cases. The temperature dependences of pressure broadening coefficients provided by each method are very similar at elevated (above room) temperatures.     

Spectral diffusion in nitride quantum dots: Emission energy dependent linewidths broadening via giant built‐in dipole moments

We present a study about the origin of the huge emission linewidths broadening commonly observed for wurtzite GaN/AlN quantum dots. Our analysis is based on a statistically significant number of quantum dot spectra measured by an automatized µ‐photoluminescence mapping system applying image recognition techniques. A clear decrease of the single quantum dot emission linewidths is observed with rising overall exciton emission energy. 8‐band k · p based model calculations predict a corresponding decrease of the built‐in exciton dipole moments with increasing emission energy in agreement with the measured behavior for the emission linewidths. Based on this proportionality we explain the particular susceptibility of nitride quantum dots to spectral diffusion causing the linewidth broadening via the linear quantum‐confined Stark effect. This is the first statistical analysis of emission linewidths that identifies the giant excitonic dipole moments as their origin and estimates the native defect‐induced electric field strength to ～2 MV/m. Our observation is in contrast to less‐polar quantum dot systems as e.g. arsenides that exhibit a naturally lower vulnerability to emission linewidth broadening due to almost negligible exciton dipole moments.

Mechanisms of broadening of emission lines of a laser-induced plasma generated on the surface of rigid targets

This article reports the results of an experimental investigation of the basic mechanisms that cause the broadening of emission lines of a laser-induced plasma generated on the surface of rigid targets in a gaseous atmosphere. The contribution of Stark and resonance mechanisms of emission-line broadening for the resonance doublet Al I 3s²3p²P_3/2,1/2-3s²4s²S_1/2 and triplet Mg I 3s3p³P _0,1,2 ⁰ -3s4s³S₁ is discussed. The concentrations of neutral Al atoms in the laser-induced plasma are evaluated by the magnitude of resonance line broadening.

Comparison of classical, semiclassical and quantum methods in hydrogen broadening of acetylene lines

Quantum close coupling (CC) calculations of H₂-broadening coefficients of infrared and isotropic Raman lines of acetylene (C₂H₂) are performed for temperatures between 77 and 2000 K. They are used to test three more approximate methods, the quantum coupled states (CS) theory, the semiclassical Robert-Bonamy (RB) formalism and the full classical (FC) model of Gordon. In order to allow a clear and well founded comparison, all the dynamical calculations were performed employing the same ab initio potential energy surface free of any adjustable parameters. It is shown that below room temperature both the coupled states method and full classical method fail at reproducing the close coupling pressure broadening coefficients while above room temperature they are correct and predict comparable accurate values for temperatures greater than about 1000 K. The values provided by the RB method are clearly not satisfactory even at the highest temperature examined. However, the temperature dependence of the RB results follows the functional form used for interpolating and extrapolating CC, CS and FC pressure broadening coefficients.     

A path integral approach to electronic friction of a nanometer-sized tip scanning a metal surface

In this work, we study the dissipation mechanism and frictional force of a nanometer-sized tip scanning a metal surface via a path integral approach. The metal, with internal degrees of freedom (c, c^†) and a tip with an internal degree of freedom (d, d^†) couple with one another by means of an exchanged potential, V. Having integrated out all internal degrees of freedom, we obtain the in-out amplitude. Moreover, we calculate the imaginary part of the in-out amplitude and the frictional force. We find the imaginary part of the in-out amplitude to be positive, and correlated to the sliding velocity in most cases. The frictional force is proportional to the sliding velocity for the case where v < 0.01. However, for cases where v > 0.01, the frictional force demonstrates nonlinear dependence on sliding velocity.     

液态~4He系统对关联函数的路径积分蒙特卡罗模拟

利用路径积分蒙特卡罗(PIMC)模拟方法研究了由256个4He原子组成的系统在不同条件下的对关联函数g(r).在标准大气压下(SVP),分别在1.38K,1.67K,2.50K和4.24K等四个温度时对系统不同势能的情况的对关联函数进行了计算;另外还讨论了系统的温度和密度对对关联函数的影响.结果发现,系统的势能变化及密度变化都或大或小影响对关联函数,而温度对其影响不是很大.虽然PIMC方法存在有限尺度效应,但是由128和256个4He原子组成系统的对关联函数存在极小的差异,因此可以得到:随着模拟系统尺度的增大,所模拟的有限尺度的系统已逐渐接近于真实系统.所以所得的256原子系统的性质可近似说明液态系统性质.     

Determination of the Concentration of Electrons in the Laser Plasma of Helium

The dependence of the Stark width of the spectral line of He II P 468.6 nm on the electron concentration in the laser plasma of helium for the range of electron densities N _e = (1–10)·10²³ m^–3 and electron temperatures of the order of 60 kK has been measured. The results obtained correspond well to Griem's theoretical data. An empirical relation is suggested which makes it possible to reliably determine the electron concentration from measured halfwidths in the investigated range of N _e.     

Effect of collisions on spectral lines in gases

Collisions between an emitter and the surrounding buffer gas particles influence the emission lines. A collision may perturb the emitter in its excited and ground states, cause direct transitions between the levels, and at the same time, change the velocity of the emitter. In this paper, we present a model which deals for the first time with all these effects when they occursimultaneously in each collision. The model assumes the emitter to be subject to random collisions by the surrounding gas particles which are taken to constitute a heat bath in thermal equilibrium. The collisions are assumed to be binary, instantaneous, and to occur with a probabiity given by the Poisson distribution. These assumptions are shown to be equivalent to the widely used impact approximation in the collision broadening theory. We discuss several special cases of the general result for the line shape obtained in the paper.
