Transition probability of atoms

The electron-electron interaction is usually supposed to be well described by the instantaneous Coulomb interaction operator l/rn. Also, all interactions with the nuclei whose internal structure is not resolved, like electron-nucleus attraction and nucleus-nucleus repulsion, are supposed to be of this type. Of course, corrections to these approximations become important in certain cases where a high accuracy is sought, especially in computing the term values and transition probabilities of atomic spectroscopy. For example, the Breit correction to the electron-electron Coulomb interaction should not be neglected in fine-structure calculations and in the case of highly charged ions. However, in general, and particularly for standard chemical purposes, these corrections become less important.

With a similar experimental arrangement, Khaikin determined cross-sections for electron excitation and atom-atom collisions. Lilly and Holmes used this method to measure the relative transition probabilities of 12 visible neon lines originating from the 2s and 3s niveaus and normalized these probabilities by determing the absolute value for one line.

Since the transition probabilities of Fig. 14.6 are obtained numerically, it is not appreciably more difficult to include the diagonal matrix elements AA and l BB arising from the permanent dipole moments of the atomic states in the field. The... 

The colinear collision problem of atom A colliding with a molecule BC was first attempted quantum mechanically by Zener [14,15] and then by Jackson and Mott [28] for the purpose of investigating thermal accommodation coefficients for atoms impinging on solid surfaces. An exponential repulsion was utilized, along with the harmonic-oscillator approximation. The distorted-wave (DW) method was employed to obtain a 1 — 0 transition probability of the form...

In Pigs. 2 and 3, the variation of the probability of atomization with pressure is shown for hydrogen over tungsten (11) and platinum (12), and for oxygen over platinum (12). It will be seen, now the temperature of the metal is very much greater, that there is a smooth transition from... 

The elements of this matrix are interpreted as the transition probabilities of electrons of going from the ith atom to the j th atom at different time intervals. The diagonal elements are called self-retum probabilities by analogy with the —> sdf-retuming walks. 

Adsorption probability or sticking probability of atoms and diatomic molecules have been measured for many transition metal surfaces. These experiments are carried out as a function of temperature and coverage and also as a function of the energy content and angle of incidence of the incident atoms or molecules. Pick a gas-surface system (e.g., H2/Ni 1106]) and describe the results of these experiments. In particular, how does the sticking probability depend on the surface structure and the temperature of the transition metal ... 

The solution to the difficulties lies in recognising that the transition from one energy level to another is associated with a transition probability. If atoms can be excited into energy levels from which the probabihty of a transition is small, the atoms will remain in this state for long enough to produce a population inversion and so be available for stimulated emission. 

The inner product N S depends on the relative projection of N and S, so all states with the same value of Mj = Ms + Mjv also have the same energy under the YsrN S interaction and can be coupled by it. It can be seen that for the rotational ground state, N = 0, Mn = 0 and thus the spin-rotation interaction cannot change Ms without changing Mj. Because Mj is a good quantum number, collisions between helium atoms and molecules in their rotational ground state cannot directly cause spin-depolarization (first-order perturbation theory predicts a Zeeman transition probability of zero).

The intensities of spectral lines are proportional to the transition probabilities of the corresponding atomic or molecular transitions. Sections 2.7 and 2.9 cover some experimental and theoretical methods for the determination of transition probabilities and lifetimes of excited states.
