Abstract

In this article, the second order perturbation theory is used to obtain the expression of T-matrix for the Simultaneous photon-electron excitations of hydrogen. The convergence and resonance of the T-matrix are discussed in brief.

Excitation of metastable hydrogen by simultaneous collision with electrons and photons

N. K. Rahman, Farhad H. M. Faisal

Cross sections for excitation of metastable hydrogen by simultaneous collision with electrons and photons are calculated with the Bethe-Born approximation. The resulting second-order matrix element is calculated exactly with an analytic Coulomb Green's function. The cross sections are shown to be of direct physical interest with present-day lasers.

High-energy resonant cross sections for simultaneous electron-photon excitation of the 3s state of hydrogen

N. K. Rahman, Farhad H. M. Faisal

High-energy cross sections for the excitation of the 3s state of the hydrogen atom by simultaneous collision with electrons and photons are calculated under the second-order Bethe-Born approximation, both as functions of electron energy and of laser intensity. Resonant structures are shown to arise as a function of laser-photon frequency. The behaviour of these resonances is described and their origin explained. It is concluded that these resonances are characteristic of the simultaneous electron-photon excitation process itself and can occur for any atomic target, under suitable conditions.

Nth order perturbation theory for hydrogen

Edward J. Kelsey, J. H. Macek

This paper presents a simple reformulation of second order perturbation theory for hydrogen. We calculate first the perturbed wavefunction and then the perturbed matrix element. This procedure is repeated to obtain the nth order matrix element in terms of n−1 integrals. The parameters in the nth order matrix element are defined recursively. Schwinger’s representation of the Coulomb Green’s function follows immediately from our expression for the second order matrix element.

Joint collision of electrons and photons with hydrogen atoms

K. C. Mathur

Ab initio perturbation theory calculations for the excitation of then = 2state of a hydrogen atom by electron impact in the presence of a near resonant electromagnetic field are presented. Single photon near-resonance process is discussed. A significant increase in the excitation cross section for the atom is obtained by joint collisions with electrons and photons.

Studies on Non-Resonant Multiphoton Processes in Atomic Hydrogen

Rajesh Radhakrishnan, Thiyagarajan babu

In the present thesis we have formulated the Dalgarno-Lewis procedure\nfor two-and three-photon processes and an elegant alternate expressions\nare derived. Starting from a brief review on various multiphoton processes\nwe have discussed the difficulties coming in the perturbative treatment\nof multiphoton processes. A small discussion on various available methods\nfor studying multiphoton processes are presented in chapter 2. These\ntheoretical treatments mainly concentrate on the evaluation of the higher\norder matrix elements coming in the perturbation theory. In chapter 3 we\nhave described the use of Dalgarno-Lewis procedure and its implimentation on second order matrix elements. The analytical expressions for twophoton\ntransition amplitude, two-photon ionization cross section, dipole\ndynamic polarizability and Kramers-Heiseberg are obtained in a unified\nmanner. Fourth chapter is an extension of the implicit summation technique\npresented in chapter 3. We have clearly mentioned the advantage of\nour method, especially the analytical continuation of the relevant expressions\nsuited for various values of radiation frequency which is also used for\nefficient numerical analysis.\nA possible extension of the work is to study various multiphoton processcs\nfrom the stark shifted first excited states of hydrogen atom. We\ncan also extend this procedure for studying multiphoton processes in alkali\natoms as well as Rydberg atoms. Also, instead of going for analytical expressions,\none can try a complete numerical evaluation of the higher order\nmatrix elements using this procedure.

Three-photon transitions from ground state to bound states in atomic hydrogen

R. B. Thayyullathil, Rajesh Radhakrishnan, M Seema

In this paper, we present an efficient alternative method for the evaluation of the three-photon transition matrix element in the dipole approximation from the ground state to bound states in atomic hydrogen. This method is a variation of the Dalgarno–Lewis method for the treatment of the second-order Stark effect in the hydrogen atom. In this approach, the infinite double sum over the complete set of states including the continuum states present in the third-order perturbation theory result is treated exactly. The closed analytical expression obtained for the matrix element, as a function of incident photon energy, clearly displays all singularities present in the original third-order perturbation theory result.
