Analysis of triply excited states of atoms in hyperspherical coordinates.

چکیده
A new method for obtaining accurate adiabatic potential curves of a three-electron atom in hyperspherical coordinates has been developed. These potential curves are used to study singly, doubly, and triply excited states all at the same time. The group of potential curves that supports triply excited states of atoms is analyzed. For the Li atom, these curves are used to interpret and identify the triply excited states observed recently in the measurements using synchrotron radiation. For the H22 ion, all the potential curves are repulsive, which clearly implies that there are no resonances of any type for this system.

Hyperspherical analysis of radial correlations in four-electron atoms
Hyperspherical coordinates are used to study electron correlations in the radial motion of a four-electron atom within the model of s4 configurations. We identify groups of hyperspherical adiabatic potential curves that support singly, doubly, triply, and quadruply excited states. By examining the nodal structures of the channel functions, we show that it is possible to relate the number of nod...
متن کاملRadial and angular correlations and the classification of intershell 2l2l83l9 triply excited states of atoms
We analyzed radial and angular correlations of 50 2l2l83l9 triply excited states of atoms. Using hyperspherical coordinates, we examined channel wave functions in the body-fixed frame to identify elementary normal modes of the correlated motion of the three electrons. For these states, we showed that the bending vibrational modes characterizing the angular correlations are the same as those in ...
متن کاملHyperspherical analysis of doubly and triply excited states of Li
A computational method for calculating the hyperspherical adiabatic potential curves for three-electron atomic systems is presented. This method allows us to obtain accurate potential curves for any symmetries more efficiently. The potential curves for the Li(S) symmetry are analyzed. For the ground state, the energy calculated using the single channel adiabatic approximation is in good agreeme...
متن کاملIdentification and visualization of the collective normal modes of intrashell triply excited states of atoms
We identify the elementary normal modes of the collective motion of three electrons in intrashell triply excited states of atoms. By modelling the atom as consisting of three electrons on the surface of a sphere with the nucleus at the centre, we analysed the calculated wavefunctions in the body-fixed frame. Using contour surfaces in appropriate coordinates, the nodal surfaces and the normal mo...
متن کاملAnalysis of 1s2l2l′ and 2l2l′2l′′ resonances of He− ions
Hyperspherical adiabatic potential curves for the three-electron He− ions are calculated. Potential curves that support 1s2l2l′ doubly excited states and 2l2l′2l′′ triply excited states are analysed to interpret the possible existence and the nature, including the relative autoionization widths, of these states. We show that doubly excited states of He− can be classified using the same set of q...
