Electron-impact ionization of the hydrogen atom is the prototypical three-body Coulomb
breakup problem in quantum mechanics. The combination of subtle correlation effects and …

Since the invention of quantum mechanics, even the simplest example of the collisional
breakup of a system of charged particles, e−+ H→ H++ e−+ e−(where e− is an electron and …

Multistart spiral vortex patterns are predicted for the electron momentum distributions in the
polarization plane following ionization of the helium atom by two time-delayed circularly …

In parallel with the evolution of femtosecond and attosecond laser as well as free-electron
laser technology, a variety of theoretical methods have been developed to describe the …

Exterior complex scaling enables one to solve the time-independent Schrödinger equation
for three charged particles without explicitly imposing the asymptotic boundary condition for …

The formulation of the time-dependent close-coupling method is extended to allow the
calculation of electron-impact triple-differential cross sections for atoms. The fully quantal …

Electron correlation plays an essential role in a wide range of fundamentally important many-
body phenomena in modern physics and chemistry. An example is the importance of …

Complete two-photon break-up of He near threshold has been investigated by solving the
time-dependent closing-coupling equations on a numerical lattice. We have obtained good …

Various correlated photoionization processes in helium are calculated by direct solution of
the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. An inhomogeneous set of time-dependent close …
