Correlated wave functions to approach the bound excited states of Li- and Be-

Explicitly correlated wave functions including a Jastrow factor to take into account the dynamical correlation effects, and a multi determinant model wave function to account for the non–dynamical correlations are used to study some metastable excited states of the negative ions Li^- and Be^-. A detailed analysis of one– and two–body properties has been carried out for these states. In particular the single–particle density as well as both the two–body inter electronic and center of mass densities have been obtained. All the calculations have been performed by using the variational Monte Carlo method.     

Observation of triplet doubly excited states in single photon excitation from ground state helium

We have observed, for the first time, LS-forbidden triplet doubly excited states, in single photon excitation of ground state helium, below the second ionization threshold. These states are identified as (3)D(o) and (3)P(o) and their excitation is due to spin-orbit interaction that mixes them with the optically allowed (1)P(o) states. This observation is possible due to the very high efficiency in detecting metastable atoms created after the fluorescence decay of the doubly excited states, and the new capabilities of third generation synchrotron vacuum ultraviolet sources with high resolution beam lines.

Analytical potential energy functions for the ground and some excited states of N2

The analytical potential energy functions have been calculated for the ground state X¹Σ⁺_g and four excited electronic states a¹Π_g, A³Σ⁺_u, B′³Σ^?_u and B³Π_g of N₂ molecule using the algebraic and energy-consistent methods (AM-ECM). Based on our previously published full AM vibrational energies and spectroscopic constants, the low-lying force constants f_n, the expansion coefficients a_n and the variational parameters λ in the AM–ECM potentials are determined for these states. The computed AM–ECM potential energy curve of each state is in excellent agreement with the experimental data and better than other analytical potentials.     

Millimeter and submillimeter wave rotational spectrum of pyridine in the ground and excited vibrational states

The pure rotational spectra of the ground and five excited vibrational states of pyridine were measured, assigned and fit in the 75-110 and 260-370 GHz frequency bands. An improved set of spectroscopic constants was obtained for the ground state, and all the rotational and quartic centrifugal distortion constants were obtained for the excited vibrational states.

Formation of excited states in high-Z helium like systems

High-Z helium like ions represent the simplest multi electron systems for studying the interplay between electron–electron correlations, relativistic as well as quantum electrodynamical effects in strong fields. In contrast to the adjacent lithium like ions, however, almost no experimental information is available about the excited states in the high-Z domain of the helium sequence. Here, we present a theoretical analysis of the X ray production and decay dynamics of the excited states in helium like uranium. Emphasis has been paid particularly to the formation of the ³P₀ and ³P₂ levels by using electron capture into hydrogen like U⁹¹⁺. Both states are of interest for precise measurements on high-Z helium like ions in the future. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Attosecond two-photon interferometry for doubly excited states of helium

We show that the correlation dynamics in coherently excited doubly excited resonances of helium can be followed in real time by two-photon interferometry. This approach promises to map the evolution of the two-electron wave packet onto experimentally easily accessible noncoincident single-electron spectra. We analyze the interferometric signal in terms of a semianalytical model which is validated by a numerical solution of the time-dependent two-electron Schr?dinger equation in its full dimensionality.     

MRCI studies on ground and excited states of CBr

Potential curves and spectroscopic constants for a large number of doublet and quartet states of CBr were obtained by multireference configuration interaction calculations, using valence triple-zeta basis sets with polarization and diffuse functions. Besides the X²Π ground state, 1⁴Σ^?, 1²Δ and 2²Σ⁺ have been found to be stable. Spectroscopic constants calculated for 1²Δ are in excellent agreement with experimental values obtained by Dixon and Kroto in 1963. Their observed predissociation of one component of 1²Δ can be explained by the crossing of the 1²Δ potential near equilibrium by 1²Σ⁺. The 1²Σ⁺ state is calculated to have a shallow long-range minimum at 2.31?Å. The dissociation energy of X²Π is calculated to be 3.43?eV. An observed T _e of 4.97?eV for 2²Σ⁺ agrees with the theoretical value. Several Rydberg states of the 2π→Ryd and 3σ→Ryd series, starting at T _e ?=?5.25?eV, were identified. Photodissociation of CBr by sunlight, important in the ozone cycle, can occur via direct dissociation of the ground state, or by excitation to 1²Δ followed by predissociation. Most dissocative repulsive states lie at higher energies, and are not expected to participate in the photodisscociation of CBr.     

多光子激发相干态的Wigner函数

Wigner函数的负性是非经典量子态的重要判据之一.利用Fock态表象下Wigner函数的一般表达式,重构了相干态｜z〉的k光子激发态｜+k,z〉～a^－k｜z〉（k≥1）的Wigner函数,并根据其数值结果讨论了该量子态的非经典特性（这里a^－1为Bose湮没算符的逆算符,其作用相当于Bose产生算符）.结果表明,不论k取奇数还是偶数,相干态的这些k光子激发态都具有非经典特性;而且k的取值越大,这些量子态的非经典特性越明显. 关键词： 非经典量子态 激发相干态 Wigner函数 非经典特性     

Fine structure and hyperfine structure of some excited states of helium

The fine structure and the hyperfine structure for some singly-excited and doubly-excited states of helium atom are calculated using Rayleigh-Ritz variational method with multi-configuration-interaction wave functions. The calculated results of the fine structure for the Rydberg series are in good agreement with other theoretical and experimental data. The hyperfine parameters and the hyperfine coupling constants of ³He are also obtained for this system.Received: 17 January 2003, Published online: 29 July 2003PACS: 32.10.Fn Fine and hyperfine structure - 31.30.Gs Hyperfine interactions and isotope effects, Jahn-Teller effect     

Geometric quantities of lower doubly excited bound states of helium

Expectation values of single electron and interelectronic geometric quantities such as $\langle r\rangle$, $\langle r_{12}\rangle$, $\langle r_<\rangle$, $\langle r_>\rangle$, $\langle \cos\theta_{12}\rangle$ and $\langle \theta_{12}\rangle$ are calculated for doubly excited $2{\rm p}n{\rm p}\,{}^1P^{\,\rm e}\,(3\leq n\leq5),\, 2{\rm p}n{\rm p}\,{}^3\!P^{\,\rm e}\,(2\leq n\leq5)$ and $2{\rm p}n{\rm d}\,{}^{1,3}D^{\,\rm o}\,(3\leq n\leq5)$ states of helium using Hylleraas-$B$-spline basis set. The energy levels converge to at least 10 significant digits in our calculations. The extrapolated values of geometric quantities except for $\langle \theta_{12}\rangle$ reach 10 significant digits as well; $\langle \theta_{12}\rangle$ reaches at least 7 significant digits using a multipole expansion approach. Our results provide a precise reference for future research.     

Supersymmetric ground state wave functions

The construction of explicit supersymmetric ground states is considered in a variety of quantum mechanical systems. For broad classes of supersymmetric hamiltonians it is not difficult to find closed-form zero-energy ground-state wave functions.

Ab initio calculations on the ground and excited states of InI

Potential energy curves (PECs) of the ground and the low-lying excited states of the InI molecule are computed using the internally contracted multireference singles and doubles configuration interaction with the Davidson correction (ic-MR-CISD + Q) method based on the relativistic effective core potentials (RECPs). The spectroscopic constants are obtained, including the excitation energy (T _e), the equilibrium bond distance (R _e), the dipole moment (μ_e) and the vibrational constants (ω_e and ω_e). Finally, we predict the transition dipole moments, the radiative lifetimes, and the Franc-Condon factors for the transitions of A³Π₀+ ? X¹Σ₀ ⁺ and B³Π^l ? X¹Σ₀ ⁺,. The results reveal that A³Π₀+ and B³Π_l are long-lived states with the lifetimes being of the order of microseconds.
