Probing Stark Atoms

More about the book

The book delves into advanced probing techniques for understanding complex atomic electron systems, such as multi-electron atoms and molecules, particularly in the context of external electric fields. It employs scaled-energy recurrence spectroscopy to investigate the dynamics of highly-excited two-electron atoms under static electric fields. Additionally, it explores the use of ultra-short terahertz pulses for ionizing Stark eigenstates, examining their electronic probability distributions in momentum space and discussing the characteristics and limitations of these probing methods.
