Atomic Structure and Lifetimes

Abstract: This book presents an approach to introductory graduate courses on atomic structure. The author's approach utilizes conceptually powerful semiclassical modeling methods, and demonstrates the degree to which the Maslov-indexed EBK quantization elucidates the quantum mechanical formulation of level energies and lifetimes. It merges this with an update and extension of semiempirical data systematizations developed by Bengt Edlén to describe complex atoms, and adapts them to include the specification of lifetimes.… Show more

“…In this paper, however, the arguments are not in this interval since 1+t 2 1−t 2 ≥ 1. Legendre polynomials with arguments greater than unity have been used in the literature, for instance in [13,Chapter 2]. We now establish a connection between the density f d (t) and the Legendre polynomials.…”

“…Collisions are treated as a loss channel with a rate proportional to the interrogation length,l = 2ω 0 , and the mean free path of the particles, (ρσ) −1 , where ρ is the number density of the atoms [m −3 ] and σ is the Van der Waals radius [m 2 ]. The number density, ρ, exponentially increases with temperature (14). The risk of collision increases with interrogation length and cell temperature.…”
