Semiclassical Calculation of Transition Matrix Elements for Atoms in External Fields
نویسندگان
چکیده
Closed orbit theory is generalized to the semiclassical calculation of cross-correlated recurrence functions for atoms in external fields. The cross-correlation functions are inverted by a high resolution spectral analyzer to obtain the semiclassical eigenenergies and transition matrix elements. The method is demonstrated for dipole transitions of the hydrogen atom in a magnetic field. This is the first semiclassical calculation of individual quantum transition strengths from closed orbit theory.

Use of Harmonic Inversion Techniques in Semiclassical Quantization and Analysis of Quantum Spectra
Harmonic inversion is introduced as a powerful tool for both the analysis of quantum spectra and semiclassical periodic orbit quantization. The method allows to circumvent the uncertainty principle of the conventional Fourier transform and to extract dynamical information from quantum spectra which has been unattainable before, such as bifurcations of orbits, the uncovering of hidden ghost orbi...
متن کاملCalculation for Energy of (111) Surfaces of Palladium in Tight Binding Model
In this work calculation of energetics of transition metal surfaces is presented. The tight-binding model is employed in order to calculate the energetics. The tight-binding basis set is limited to d orbitals which are valid for elements at the end of transition metals series. In our analysis we concentrated on electronic effects at temperature T=0 K, this means that no entropic term will be pr...
متن کاملPhotoabsorption spectra of the diamagnetic hydrogen atom in the transition regime to chaos: Closed orbit theory with bifurcating orbits
With increasing energy the diamagnetic hydrogen atom undergoes a transition from regular to chaotic classical dynamics, and the closed orbits pass through various cascades of bifurcations. Closed orbit theory allows for the semiclassical calculation of photoabsorption spectra of the diamagnetic hydrogen atom. However, at the bifurcations the closed orbit contributions diverge. The singularities...
متن کاملGeneral Rydberg Atoms in Crossed Electric and Magnetic Fields: Calculation of Semiclassical Recurrence Spectra with Special Emphasis on Core Effects
The photoabsorption spectra of highly excited Rydberg atoms in external fields are known to be related to closed classical orbits of the excited electron. For atoms in a pure magnetic field, scaled recurrence spectra have successfully been calculated from classical orbits using the semiclassical closed-orbit theory. Rydberg atoms in crossed fields are more complicated as regards their theoretic...
