THEORETICAL STUDY OF THE FINE-STRUCTURE INVERSIONS IN nf RYDBERG STATES OF ALKALI ATOMS

YAN JUN, Peihong Zhang, Xiao‐Min Tong +2 more

Based on the Relativistic Multichannel Theory,we have systematically studied the fine structure of nf Rydberg states of alkali atoms. Our calculated differences between the quantum defects μj+ and μj- are in good agreement with measured values, namely normal for Li and Na while inverted for Rb and Cs. We also predict a normal fine-structure for K and an inverted one for Fr, which still have no experimental data currently. Our theoretical calculation shows that the exchange between excited electron and core electrons is responsible for the inversion, which is a purely relativistic effect, while electron correlation is unimportant.

Angle-differential and momentum-transfer cross sections for e−+Rb, Cs, and Fr collisions at low energies: 3Fo shape resonances in Rb−, Cs−, and Fr− ions

Cristian Bahrim, Uwe Thumm

Based on the relativistic Dirac R-matrix method, we calculate angle-dependent and momentum-transfer cross sections for electron scattering by Rb, Cs, and Fr atoms at impact energies below 3 eV. Our results for momentum transfer for ${e}^{\ensuremath{-}}+\mathrm{Rb}$ and Cs collisions are compared with available data from swarm experiments. We find clear evidence for a ${\mathrm{Cs}}^{\ensuremath{-}}{(}^{3}{F}^{o})$ shape resonance at 1.528 eV, in excellent agreement with angle-dependent electron-scattering measurements. We analyze and compare the ${}^{3}{F}^{o}$ shape resonance in ${e}^{\ensuremath{-}}+\mathrm{Rb},$ Cs, and Fr elastic collisions.
