Coherent Electron Impact Excitation of Atoms

D Cvejanović, Albert Crowe, Derek Brown

Published Dec 12, 2005• 1 citation
Publisher

Abstract

Experimental studies of electron impact excitation, of atoms with closed ns shells are discussed in terms of electron impact coherence parameters, EICPs. Experimental and theoretical data leading to full determination of complex scattering amplitudes for the S-D excitation in helium and S-P in alkaline earth atoms are presented. Similarities and differences in the angular behaviour of EICPs within the alkaline earth group are discussed and compared with helium. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

The electron-photon coincidence technique in coherence analysis version was used to study the electron impact excitation of first excited 1 P 1 states of cadmium and zinc atoms. The experimental results of the Stokes and Electron Impact Coherence Parameters (EICPs) for various collision energies are compared and presented alongside CCC and RDWA theoretical predictions.

We present our first experimental results of reduced Stokes parameters and electron impact coherence parameters (EICP) for incident electron energy of 60 eV. The electron-photon coincidence technique has been used in measurements for scattering angles 10° and 15°. The experimental data are compared with theoretical results of relativistic distorted wave approximation calculations.

Coincidence study of excitation of cadmium atoms by electron impact

Mariusz Piwiński, D. Dziczek, Łukasz Kłosowski +2 more

We present experimental values of the electron impact coherence parameters (EICP) and reduced Stokes parameters for excitation of 51P1 state of cadmium atoms. The results have been obtained using electron–photon coincidence technique for incident electron energies 80 eV and 60 eV and electron scattering angles in the range of 5° to 50°. We also present an additional set of data for electron energy 100 eV and scattering angle 50° which complements our previous results. All the experimental values are compared with theoretical relativistic distorted-wave approximation (RDWA) calculations. The first Born approximation (FBA) predictions of the alignment angle are also presented. The theoretical results are in good qualitative agreement with the experimental data.

It is possible to measure electron impact coherence parameters (EICPs) at large scattering angles with application of magnetic angle changing devices, however the presence of magnetic field can strongly influence experimental results for the excited states of longer lifetimes. We consider a new type of MAC device producing very low magnetic field in the scattering region and a new approach to coincidence measurements – application of multiple photon detectors with individual coincidence circuits to reduce the time of data accumulation.

Coherent Excitation of the 4F1 State of Helium by Electron Impact

D Cvejanović, Albert Crowe

The Stokes parameters ${P}_{1}$, ${P}_{2}$, ${P}_{3}$, and ${P}_{4}$ have been measured in a scattered electron-polarized cascade photon correlation study of the $4^{1}F$ state of helium excited by 29.6 eV electron impact. This is the first detailed experimental study of electron impact excitation leading to the transfer of three units of angular momentum. The data are expected to be influenced by the breakdown of $\mathrm{LS}$ coupling for $L\ensuremath{\ge}3$ states, even in a simple system like helium, providing a further challenge for theory.
