The dynamical properties of Rydberg hydrogen atom near a metal surface

In recent years much attention is focused on the dynamics of Rydberg atom in exter- nal fields. At the same time Rydberg atom near a metal surface plays an important role as a typical theoretical model and produces measurable experimental response[1]. As an interesting model it covers many dynamical effects: instantaneous van der Waals inter- action[2,3], Zeeman-Stark effects and diamagnetic effects in strong fields[4], and so on. Its classical motion is very complex. When the atom-surface i…     

The dynamical properties of Rydberg hydrogen atom near a metal surface

The dynamical properties of Rydberg hydrogen atom near a metal surface are presented by using the methods of phase space analysis and closed orbit theory. Transforming the coordinates of the Hamiltonian, we find that the phase space of the system is divided into vibrational and rotational region. Both the Poincaré surface of section and the closed orbit theory verify the same conclusion clearly. In this paper we choose the atomic principal quantum number asn=20. The dynamical character of the exited hydrogen atom depends sensitively on the atom-surface distanced. Whend is sufficiently large, the atom-surface potential can be expressed by the traditional van der Waals force and the system is integrable. Whend becomes smaller, there exists a critical valued _c. Ford>d _c, the system is near-integrable and the motion is regular. While chaotic motion appears ford<d _c, and the system tends to be non-integrable. The trajectories become unstable and the electron might be captured onto the metal surface.     

Analysis of the time-domain spectrum of hydrogen in electric field near helium surface

The Ryderberg electronic wave packet dynamics of hydrogen atom near helium surface in an electric field is investigated using the semiclassical method.The autocorrelation function is calculated when the photoionized electron is excited by a short laser pulse for different atom-surface separations.The results show that new recurrences appear because of the helium surface,and the number of recurrent peaks increases with the decrease in atom-surface distance.The new feature is ascribed to the bifurcation of new closed orbits in the classical dynamics of the photoionized electron.Therefore,surface properties have a significant effect on the spectrum of nearby atoms or ions.     

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.     

Photoionization microscopy of hydrogen atom near a metal surface

We have studied the ionization of Rydberg hydrogen atom near a metal surface with a semiclassical analysis of photoionization microscopy. Interference patterns of the electron radial distribution are calculated at different scaled energies above the classical saddle point and at various atom-surface distances. We find that different types of trajectories contribute predominantly to different manifolds in a certain interference pattern. As the scaled energy increases, the structure of the interference pattern evolves smoothly and more types of trajectories emerge. As the atom approaches the metal surface closer, there are more types of trajectories contributing to the interference pattern as well. When the Rydberg atom comes very close to the metal surface or the scaled energy approaches the zero field ionization energy, the potential induced by the metal surface will make atomic system chaotic. The results also show that atoms near a metal surface exhibit similar properties like the atoms in the parallel electric and magnetic fields.     

The dynamical properties of a Rydberg hydrogen atom between two parallel metal surfaces

This paper presents the dynamical properties of a Rydberg hydrogen atom between two metal surfaces using phase space analysis methods. The dynamical behaviour of the excited hydrogen atom depends sensitively on the atom--surface distance d. There exists a critical atom--surface distance d_c = 1586 a.u. When the atom--surface distance d is larger than the critical distance d_c, the image charge potential is less important than the Coulomb potential, the system is near-integrable and the electron motion is regular. As the distance d decreases, the system will tend to be non-integrable and unstable, and the electron might be captured by the metal surfaces.     

Quasiclassical dynamics of resonantly driven Rydberg states

We present a semiclassical analysis of the dynamics of Rydberg states of atomic hydrogen driven by a resonant microwave field of linear polarization. The semiclassical quasienergies of the atom in the field are found to be in very good agreement with the exact quantum solutions. The ionization rates of individual eigenstates of the atom dressed by the field reflect their quasiclassical dynamics along classical periodic orbits in the near integrable regime, but exhibit a transition to nonspecific rates when global chaos takes over in phase space. We concentrate both on the principal resonance where the unperturbed Kepler frequency is equal to the driving field frequency and on the higher primary resonance The latter case allows for the construction of nondispersive wave packets which propagate along Kepler ellipses of intermediate eccentricity.
