13 Mar 1998 | | Journal: | Book of Invited talks, XXth ICPEAC, Vienna 1997 | | Subject: | Atomic Physics | physics.atom-ph | | Abstract: | A brief review of the manifestations of classical chaos observed in atomic systems is presented. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of atomic spectra by periodic orbit-type theories. For diamagnetic non-hydrogenic Rydberg atoms, the dynamical explanation for observed spectral features has been disputed. By building on our previous work on the photoabsorption spectrum, we show how, by the addition of diffractive terms, the spectral fluctuations in the energy level spectrum of general Rydberg atoms can be obtained with remarkable precision from the Gutzwiller trace formula. This provides further evidence that non-hydrogenic systems are most naturally described in terms of diffraction rather than classical chaos. | | Source: | arXiv, physics/9803019 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
