Double photoionization of helium including quadrupole radiation effects
نویسندگان
چکیده
Non-perturbative time-dependent close-coupling calculations are carried out for the double photoionization of helium including both dipole and quadrupole radiation effects. At a photon energy of 800 eV, accessible at current synchrotron light sources, the quadrupole interaction contributes around 6% to the total integral double photoionization cross section. The pure quadrupole single energy differential cross section shows a local maximum at equal energy sharing, as opposed to the minimum found in the pure dipole single energy differential cross section. The sum of the pure dipole and pure quadrupole single energy differentials is insensitive to non-dipole effects at 800 eV. However, the triple differential cross section at equal energy sharing of the two ejected electrons shows strong non-dipole effects due to the quadrupole interaction that may be experimentally observable.

Single and double photoionization of Ne8+
A direct solution of the time-dependent Dirac equation is used to calculate the single and double photoionization cross sections for Ne8+. Expansion of a two-electron wavefunction in coupled spin–orbit eigenfunctions yields time-dependent close-coupled equations for quad-spinor radial wavefunctions. The repulsive interaction between electrons includes both Coulomb and Gaunt interactions. The fu...

Double Photoionization of Magnesium From Threshold to 54 eV
Direct double photoionization of atoms in which two electrons are simultaneously emitted is of high interest for understanding electron correlations. Many investigations of double photoionization have focused on helium -the textbook example for double ionization with its two electrons. Double-photoionization experiments on atoms beyond He are still sparse and often less sophisticated due to the...
متن کاملTime-dependent close-coupling calculations for the double photoionization of He and H2
Photoionization cross sections for both atomic helium and molecular hydrogen are calculated using a time-dependent close-coupling method. The total electronic wavefunction for the two-electron system is expanded in six dimensions, where four dimensions are represented on a radial and angular lattice and a coupled channels expansion is used to represent the other two dimensions. Double photoioni...
