Branch-point structure and energy level calculations of diamagnetic hydrogen using dimensional perturbation theory.
(2000)
This dissertation describes the results of research that covers two distinct areas relevant to the field of physics: atomic theory and applied numerical analysis. In the first phase of this research the avoided crossings ...
Dimensional perturbation theory of the two-electron atom for states with arbitrary angular momentum.
(2000)
Dimensional Perturbation Theory (DPT) has been applied to many systems including the hydrogen atom, hydrogen atom in a magnetic field, H+2 molecule and the helium atom. Only S-wave states, and interdimensionally degenerate ...
Absolute elastic e -He and total electronically elastic e -H scattering cross-section measurements from 1-19 eV /
(1985)
Absolute e('-)-He and e('-)-H(, 2) total electronically, elastic differential cross-sections have been determined from relative scattered electron angular distribution measurements in the energy range from 2 to 19 eV in ...
Electromagnetically Induced transparency with Laguerre-Gaussian laser modes in ultracold rubidium
(2015-05)
We demonstrate electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) using lasers in the Laguerre- Gaussian mode. The probe transmission is studied in an ultracold gas for the D2 line in both 85Rb and 87Rb. We consider the Lambda ...
Laser cooling and trapping using Laguerre-Gaussian laser beams.
(2003)
Laser cooling and trapping has led to a revolution in Atomic and Molecular physics. Optical traps created with blue-detuned laser beams are desired for numerous studies. One method of creating such a trap is with ...
Cold nitric oxide molecules from a Stark guide.
(2005)
One possible technique is the use of a modified straight Stark guide to filter the slow moving molecules from a thermal source. Here I present such a technique and the design of the necessary apparatus. Furthermore, I ...
Spectrum Formation at Late Times in Type Ia Supernovae
(2015-05-08)
I present a study of radiative transfer effects in type Ia supernovae ranging from 3-4 months to nearly 2 years post-maximum light. I explore several components of spectrum formation, beginning with a semi-analytic model ...
Determination of lifetimes, optical excitation functions transmitted election spectra, optical spectra and quenching cross sections /
(1983)
An apparatus has been set up which allows the measurement of transmitted electron spectrum, radiative decay lifetimes and optical excitation functions of any gas molecules (atoms) in the region of visible and vacuum ...
DETECTION OF "TRILOBITE" AND "BUTTERFLY" RYDBERG MOLECULES IN CESIUM WITH KILODEBYE DIPOLE MOMENTS
(2015-04-06)
The detection and characterization of two classes of ultralong-range Rydberg molecules known as "trilobite" and "butterfly" molecules is presented. These molecules are a subset of a class of Rydberg molecules which ...
