Double excitations of helium in weak static electric fields

A dramatic electric field dependence has been observed in the fluorescence yield spectrum of the doubly excited states in helium, where a rich phenomenology is encountered below the threshold. Fluorescence yields of certain states can be tuned to zero, while other dipole-forbidden states are significantly enhanced, for fields much weaker than 1 kV/cm. Using an R-matrix multichannel quantum defect theory, spherical-to-parabolic frame transformation method, we are able to reproduce the main features of the observed spectrum, and we discuss the qualitative behavior in terms of weak electric field mixing.     

Theoretical performance of an HF chemical CW laser

A quantitative analysis of an HF cw chemical laser is presented that includes the influence of stimulated emission on the reacting medium. The numerically determined solutions encompass one-dimensional fluid mechanics, chemical kinetics, radiative de-excitation, and their mutual interaction. A comprehensive parametric study examines the effects due to changed plenum conditions, mixture ratios and cavity parameters. Best efficiency is obtained when the pumping is by the F + H₂ reaction. Pumping by the chain reaction sequence F + H₂ → HF(υ ≤ 3) + H and H + F₂ → HF(υ ≤ 6) + F results in substantially lower efficiencies due to increased HF-HF vibration-translation deactivation. Detailed discussions are presented of (1) vibration-vibration and vibration-translation energy exchange, (2) chemical efficiency, (3) mechanisms that cause lasing termination, and (4) cavity operation with a selective grating.     

Transaxial mirror with combined static electric and magnetic fields

Combined transaxial mirrors are studied. In the areas of motion of charged particles, the fields of these mirrors are symmetric relative to the axis and mid-plane representing the plane of symmetry for the electric field and the plane of asymmetry for the magnetic one. An image equation is inferred and simple relationships between the linear and angular dispersions with respect to mass and energy are obtained. Aberration properties of the mirrors in the directions parallel to the mid-plane are considered. Expressions for the coefficients of the third-order geometric aberration corresponding to the beam divergence angle in the mid-plane are obtained. These expressions are especially simple when both object and image are located in the principal planes of the mirror. The aforementioned coefficients are expressed via parameters characterizing the mirror under the first-order approximation.     

Can ESD-protective garments screen static electric fields?

ESD-protective clothing is used by personal that are handling unprotected electronic products in the electronics manufacturing industry during the manufacturing phase. The main function of an ESD-protective garment is; to screen charges located on the normal clothing of personal, to prevent direct discharges from the same and not to cause any of the above-mentioned problems itself.In this paper we discuss the ability of screening a static electric field for an ESD-protective garment. A phenomenological model of the system is presented and calculations are compared with experimentally obtained values. Fabrics with the following different types of conductive threads are considered: core conducting (CC), surface conducting (SC) and hybrid conducting (HC) using carbon/graphite as conducting element. All the fabrics have similar base fabric and grid density of the conductive threads. The screening ability of these three fabrics is; CC 68%, SC 77% and HC 82%, when they are compared to a thin homogeneous conducting film.     

Helicity-dependent time delays in multiphoton ionization by two-color circularly polarized laser fields

By numerically solving the three-dimensional time-dependent Schrödinger equation, we have invest-tigated multiphoton ionization of hydrogen atom in the two-color circularly polarized (TCCP) laser fields consisting of a strong 400 nm and a much weaker 800 nm pulses. Due to the presence of perturb-bative 800 nm laser pulse, sideband peaks emerge between the above-threshold ionization rings in the photoelectron momentum distributions. Our numerical results show that the sideband peaks exhibit one-lobe structure in the co-rotating TCCP laser fields, while it displays the three-lobe structure in the counter-rotating TCCP laser fields. Moreover, the photoelectron yield of sidebands in the co-rotating TCCP fields is much higher than those of the counter-rotating TCCP fields. These phenomena could be well explained from the perspective of the photon-absorption channels via the selection rules. In-terestingly, an obvious phase shift between the sidebands of different orders from the co-rotating and counter-rotating TCCP fields is observed. This shift indicates the helicity-dependent time delay in the one-photon continuum-continuum transition process.     

Time-reversal-violating generation of static magnetic and electric fields and a problem of electric dipole moment measurement

It is shown that in the experiments for the search of the electric dipole moment of an electron (atom, molecule) the T-odd magnetic moment induced by an electric field and the T-odd electric dipole moment induced by a magnetic field will be also measured. How to distinguish these contributions is discussed here.     

Plasma radiation spectra in the presence of static electric and high-frequency radiation fields

Harmonics generation of high-frequency radiation in a plasma embedded in a constant electric field is investigated theoretically. It is shown that the electron directed motion due to the static electric field yields the appearance in the plasma emission spectrum of high-frequency radiation even harmonics. The conditions are established when the even harmonics generation is as effective as that of the odd ones. At variance with the odd harmonics, the even harmonics polarization plane is found to rotate with respect to that of the fundamental field. The basic dependencies concerning the rotation angle and the generation efficiency on the plasma and field parameters are established.Received: 3 May 2004, Published online: 14 September 2004PACS: 52.50.Jm Plasma production and heating by laser beams (laser-foil, laser-cluster, etc.) - 52.38.Dx Laser light absorption in plasmas (collisional, parametric, etc.)

Theoretical studies of electric quadrupole transition probabilities in Mg II

The relativistic coupled cluster theory is employed to calculate electric quadrupole (E2) transition probabilities among the doublet states of Mg II which are of interest in astrophysical problems. This is the first time a highly correlated fully ab initio method has been used to compute these quantities for this particular ion. The line strengths and transition probabilities of a number of different transitions are reported and compared with those available in the literature.Received: 4 June 2003, Published online: 30 September 2003PACS: 31.10. + z Theory of electronic structure, electronic transitions, and chemical bindingSonjoy Majumder: Present address: Institut für Theoretische Chemie, Technische Universität München, 85747 Garching, Germany.     

Electron dynamics in the laser and quasi-static electric and magnetic fields

3/2 dimensional Hamiltonian equations, accounting for arbitrary polarized plane wave laser radiation and arbitrary electric and magnetic fields in the directions both along and across to the direction of the laser beam propagation, are derived for superluminal phase velocity of the laser radiation. An impact of superluminal laser radiation phase velocity on the transition to stochastic electron motion is studied.     

Dynamics of orientation of adsorbed polar molecules in static electric and laser field

The rotational states of adsorbed polar molecule in the presence of static electric and laser field are investigated. In this study, we have taken two types of polar molecules, namely, one with large dipole moment and moderate rotational constant (LiCl), and the other with moderate dipole moment and large rotational constant (HBr). The adsorbed molecule is considered as rigid rotor in finite conical potential well. The eigenvalues are calculated by numerically solving the Schrödinger equation. We have shown that various properties of rotational states of the molecules are significantly influenced by the static electric field, laser field, conical potential well height and the hindrance angle. Also the use of two different polar molecules for the investigation is justified by the variation in various properties due to change in molecule.

Rovibrational dynamics of the RbCs molecule in static electric fields. Classical study

We study the classical dynamics of the RbCs molecule in the presence of a static electric field. Under the Born–Oppenheimer approximation, we perform a rovibrational investigation which includes the interaction of the field with the molecular polarizability. The stability of the equilibrium points and the phase space structure of the system are explored in detail. We find that, for strong electric fields or for energies close to the dissociation threshold, the molecular polarizability causes relevant effects on the system dynamics.

Freezing transition of interfacial water at room temperature under electric fields

The freezing of liquid water into ice was studied inside a gap of nanometer spacing under the control of electric fields and gap distance. The interfacial water underwent a sudden, reversible phase transition to ice in electric fields of 10(6) V m(-1) at room temperature. The critical field strength for the freezing transition was much weaker than that theoretically predicted for alignment of water dipoles and crystallization into polar cubic ice (>10(9) V m(-1)). This new type of freezing mechanism, occurring in weak electric fields and at room temperature, may have immediate implications for ice formation in diverse natural environments.
