The privileged spectrum of cnoidal ion holes and its extension by imperfect ion trapping

The fundamental properties of nonlinear ion hole modes propagating in current-driven collisionless plasmas are derived. Making use of Schamel's alternative method their spatial structure $?(x)$ and phase velocities $u_0$ are analyzed and found to depend crucially on the used trapped ion distribution $f_{it}$. A regular $f_{it}$ represents a continuous spectrum, which is called privileged or perfect since it yields a definite $u_0$ and appears most realistic. A singular $f_{it}$, on the other hand, involving jumps and moderate slope singularities at the separatrix, does reveal further classes of hole equilibria at the cost, however, of a well-defined $u_0$. This explains why Bernstein, Greene, Kruskal (BGK)-solutions of the Vlasov–Poisson system, exhibiting a strong slope singularity of their derived trapped particle distribution, can principally not provide definite $u_{0}s$. The nonlinear dispersion relation (or $u_0$) of privileged ion holes, on the other hand, is equivalent with that of cnoidal electron holes, i.e. in addition to the ordinary ion acoustic branch there exists a correspondence to the “Langmuir” branch and to the multiple “slow electron acoustic” branches, reflecting different trapping scenarios.     

用B样条函数计算氢分子离子的能级和波函数

采用B样条函数展开方法数值求解了氢分子离子的定态薛定谔方程,计算了不同核间距时氢分子离子的基态和第一激发态的能级,结果表明,将氢分子离子的核位置作为B样条函数的节点,即使对较大的核间距,基态和第一激发态的能级值仍可达到很高的精度,所得基态径向波函数与用GAUSSIAN化学软件计算的结果符合得很好.
