Thresholds to Chaos and Ionization for the Hydrogen Atom in Rotating Fields
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyze the classical phase space of the hydrogen atom in crossed magnetic and circularly polarized microwave fields in the high frequency regime, u sing the Chirikov resonance overlap criterion and the renormalization map. These methods are used to compute thresholds to large scale chaos and to ionization. The effect of the magnetic field is a strong stabilization of a set of invariant tori which bound the trajectories and prevent stochastic ionization. In order to ionize, larger amplitudes of the microwave field are necessary in the presence of a magnetic field.

Chaotic ionization of a highly excited hydrogen atom in parallel electric and magnetic fields
We present results of our simulations of the ionization of a hydrogen atom excited to a Rydberg wave packet in the presence of external parallel electric and magnetic fields. This is an example of an open, quantum system whose classical counterpart has been shown to display chaos in the time domain. Within the framework of classical mechanics, electrons escape through chaos induced pulse trains...
متن کاملPlateau in Above-Threshold-Ionization Spectra and Chaotic Behavior in Rescattering Process
An improved quasistatic model is used to describe the ionization process of atoms in intense linearly polarized fields. Numerical calculations of AboveThreshold-Ionization (ATI) energy spectra and photoelectron angular distributions (PAD) of hydrogen atoms reveal clearly plateau and side lobe structures, which are in good agreement with recent ATI experiments. Our results show that, the existen...
متن کاملA Theoretical Study on the Structure-Radical Scavenging Activity of Some Hydroxyphenols
Antioxidants are made for the struggle and reconstruction of the damaged cells, because of their ability in destroying the free radicals. On account of their importance, a theoretical procedure was applied for the study of the molecular structure and radical scavenging activity of six hydroxyphenols which have been introduced as antioxidant compounds. All geometry structures were optimized by M...
متن کاملKepler map
We present a consecutive derivation of mapping equations of motion for the one-dimensional classical hydrogenic atom in a monochromatic field of any frequency. We analyze this map in the case of high and low relative frequency of the field and transition from regular to chaotic behavior. We show that the map at aphelion is suitable for investigation of transition to chaotic behavior also in the...
متن کاملConductance fluctuations in microwave-driven Rydberg atoms
– 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...
