Radial transition probability

In a previous study on the Rydberg transition probabilities in H30, a simplified QDO model, in which only the radial part of the orbital is explicitly defined, has been used (21). In a subsequent study on NE and... 

Some radial orbitals may already have been determined and are to remain unchanged. When the theoretical model of a computational process assumes a common core, these orbitals can be determined first and kept fixed in subsequent calculations. This procedure was used in transition probability studies for many lines of a spectrum where energy differences are more important than a minimum total energy [12, 13]. Such calculations are referred to as spectrum calculations and ensure a balance in the energies from different variational calculations. Relaxation effects can be treated as a correlation correction. 

In all XNCD measured so far, it has been found that the predominant contribution to X-ray optical activity is from the E1-E2 mechanism. The reason for this is that the El-Ml contribution depends on the possibility of a significant magnetic dipole transition probability and this is strongly forbidden in core excitations due to the radial orthogonality of core with valence and continuum states. This orthogonality is partially removed due to relaxation of the core-hole excited state, but this is not very effective and in the cases studied so far there is no definite evidence of pseudoscalar XNCD. 

It is assumed that the radial wave functions in the initial and final states are constant within a sphere of radius R, that is R ij r) = const. 0 if r < 1 and zero if 1 < r. This is a rather crude approximation, not taking into account the real shapes of the radial wave functions, but it simplifies the calculations considerably and it is very useful in practice. The reduced transition probability is evaluated for / = L 1/2 initial and J = 1/2 final states. 

Multichannel variants of the phase equation can also be defined, and this is where supercomputers would become attractive for implementing the method. Calogero defines a first order differential equation for the reactance matrix, R, and the scattering matrix, S. It is more enlightening to consider the radial evolution of S. S is complex, but it is bounded and S(r) shows directly the evolution of the transition probabilities as r is increased. This can display the radial regions where coupling is strong. The differential equation for S(r) is Eqn (7) ... 

Irrespective of whether the photon is considered as a plane wave or a wavepacket of narrow radial extension, it must thus be divided into two parts that pass each aperture. In both cases interference occurs at a particular point on the screen. When leading to total cancellation by interference at such a point, for both models one would be faced with the apparently paradoxical result that the photon then destroys itself and its energy hv. A way out of this contradiction is to interpret the dark parts of the interference pattern as regions of forbidden transitions, as determined by the conservation of energy and related to zero probability of the quantum-mechanical wavefunction. 

Nonadiabatic coupling mixes all terms. However, if Ae is sufficiently high, the location of - and 11-11 nonadiabatic coupling due to radial motion will be different from that of a -11 coupling due to rotational motion. This argument, and also the fact that the probability of nonresonant transition is small, permit depolarization and transition with energy transfer to be treated separately. Let us discuss now the latter. According to the theory of nearly adiabatic perturbations (Section II),...
