Nonsequential multiple ionization

Nonsequential double and multiple ionization are to a large part classical phenomena. Indeed, the S-matrix approach suggests a pertinent classical limit. We have summarized evidence that the latter reproduces the fully quantum-mechanical results very well in parameter regions where this can be expected. Finally, we have extended such classical avenues to a statistical description of nonsequential triple and quadruple ionization. For neon, such a classical statistical model yields a fair description of the available data. While a more microscopic description of these extremely involved phenomena lies in the future, we believe that the simple models summarized in this paper will remain valuable as benchmark results. [Pg.90]

Applicability of the modern TDDFT approaches for the treatment of multiple electron ionization processes is another problem related to the quality of time-dependent xc-energy functionals. Most of approximate xc functionals lack the important property of the exact functional, the discontinuity of its derivative with respect to the number of particles N, when N passes through integer values [78]. Several attempts to apply TDDFT with such approximate functionals for calculations of nonsequential double ionization were unsuccessful [79,80]. Recently it was shown [81] that the derivative discontinuity is crucial for correct description of double ionization. [Pg.52]
