Chaotic enhancement of hydrogen atoms excitation in magnetic and microwave fields
نویسندگان
چکیده
We numerically investigate multiphoton ionization of excited hydrogen atoms in magnetic and microwave fields when up to NI = 600 photons are required for ionization. The analytical estimates for the quantum localization length in the classically chaotic regime are in agreement with numerical data. The excitation is much stronger as compared to the case with microwave field only due to the chaotic structure of eigenstates in magnetic field. P.A.C.S.: 36.10.-k, 05.45.+b Typeset using REVTEX

Excitation mechanisms for hydrogen atoms in strong microwave fields
We analyse the excitation mechanisms which determine the dynamics of highly excited hydrogen atoms traversing a wavegulde. Experimental measurements to verify predictions denved from Floquet theory are suggested.

– We draw and quantitatively support a parallel between conductance fluctuations in one-dimensional disordered solids and fluctuations of lifetimes of hydrogen atoms in microwave fields. In particular, we numerically analyze the statistics of scaled atomic resonance widths in the localized regime and we find a lognormal distribution, quantitatively consistent with the theory of Anderson localiz...

A brief review of the manifestations of classical chaos observed in atomic systems is presented. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of atomic spectra by periodic orbit-type theories. For diamagnetic non-hydrogenic Rydberg atoms, the dynamical explanation for observed spectral features has been disputed. By building on our previous work on the photoabsorption spectrum, we show how, by ...
متن کاملClassical Chaos, Quantum Localization and Fluctuations: a Unified View
The localization phenomenon plays an essential role in the excitation of hydrogen atoms in microwave fields. The similarity of this phenomenon to Anderson localization, which has been established and discussed in previous papers, is here demonstrated in a transparent way by reducing the quantum dynamics to a one-dimensional pseudo-Anderson model. The effect of slight changes in the driving freq...

The results of chaos simulations in Josephson Fluxonic Diode (JFD) subject to the magnetic field, rf driving and dc biasing currents in the RCSJ model are reported. The dynamic behavior of this nonlinear device is mapped as a function of loss, bias, frequency and amplitude of rf excitation which leads to find sustainable fluxon oscillation regions in microwave application. As a result, chaos do...
