Discrete semiclassical methods in the theory of Rydberg atoms in external fields

PA Braun - Reviews of modern physics, 1993 - APS
The properties of the WKB method in the discrete representation are reviewed. The method
provides the eigenvalues and the eigenvectors of the three-term recursion relations or …

The geometry of reaction dynamics

T Uzer, C Jaffé, J Palacián, P Yanguas, S Wiggins - nonlinearity, 2002 - iopscience.iop.org
The geometrical structures which regulate transformations in dynamical systems with three
or more degrees of freedom (DOFs) form the subject of this paper. Our treatment focuses on …

Model potentials for alkali metal atoms and Li-like ions

W Schweizer, P Faßbinder… - Atomic Data and Nuclear …, 1999 - Elsevier
In this article we present model potential parameters for alkali metal atoms Li to Cs and the
Li isoelectronic sequence. Model potentials combined with discrete variable and finite …

Ericson fluctuations in the chaotic ionization of the hydrogen atom in crossed magnetic and electric fields

J Main, G Wunner - Physical review letters, 1992 - APS
We report exact quantum calculations for the hydrogen atom in crossed magnetic and
electric fields. Employing the complex-coordinate-rotation method we are able to extend the …

Transition state in atomic physics

C Jaffé, D Farrelly, T Uzer - Physical Review A, 1999 - APS
The transition state is fundamental to modern theories of reaction dynamics: essentially, the
transition state is a structure in phase space that all reactive trajectories must cross. While …

Chaotic transport, and the escape of trajectories from defined regions of phase space, has
been an important topic in dynamics for many years, because it describes phenomena that …

Atoms in strong crossed electric and magnetic fields: Evidence for states with large electric-dipole moments

G Raithel, M Fauth, H Walther - Physical Review A, 1993 - APS
This paper reports on the evidence for large permanent electric-dipole moments of Rydberg
atoms in crossed electric and magnetic fields. It was found that the dipole moments have a …

Observation of quasi-Landau wave packets

L Marmet, H Held, G Raithel, JA Yeazell, H Walther - Physical review letters, 1994 - APS
Atomic wave packets are produced in strong magnetic fields by exciting rubidium atoms with
a short UV laser pulse. The strength of the magnetic field is varied from 0 to 3.3 T. In a …
