Analysis of the electronic structure, hyperfine structure, and volume isotope shifts in the low lying states of BA I and BA II
(1988)
Relativistic multi-configuration Dirac Fock (MCDF) wavefunctions coupled to good angular momentum J have been calculated for low lying
states of Ba I and Ba II. These wavefunctions are compared with semiempirical
ones derived from experimental atomic energy levels. It is found that significantly better agreement is obtained when close configurations are included in the MCDF wavefunctions. Calculations of the electronic part of the field isotope shift lead to very good agreement with electronic factors
derived from ...

Collision systems
(1984)
Various approximations which are possible for the theoretical description of colliding ion-atom systems are reviewed. With the emphasis on relativistic influences, a few comparisons of experimental results with relativistic calculations are made.

Accurate Hartree-Fock-Slater calculations on small diatomic molecules with the finite-element method
(1988)
We report on the self-consistent field solution of the Hartree-Fock-Slater equations using the finite-element method for the three small diatomic molecules N_2, BH and CO as examples. The quality of the results is not only better by two orders of magnitude than the fully numerical finite difference method of Laaksonen et al. but the method also requires a smaller number of grid points.

Study of 3d - 4f and 3d - 5f quartet and doublet transitions of doubly excited three-electron ions
(1989)
We present the first observation of optical transitions between doubly excited doublet states in the term systems N V, 0 VI and F VII. The spectra were produced by foil excitation of fast ion beams. The assignment of the spectral lines was made by comparison with the results of MCDP calculations along the isoelectronic sequence. The same method also led to the identification of two 3d - 4f quartet transitions in Mg X.

Molecular effects on the cross section for pair production and their importance in the evaluation of the total photonuclear cross section of {^16}O in the {\delta-resonance} region
(1988)
The screening correction to the coherent pair-production cross section on the oxygen molecule has been calculated using self-consistent relativistic wave functions for the one-center and two-center
Coulomb potentials. It is shown that the modification of the wave function due to molecular binding and the interference between contributions from the two atoms have both sizeable effects on the screening correction. The so-obtained coherent pair-production cross section which makes up the largest part of the total atomic ...

Relativistic prediction of the ground state of atomic Lawrencium
(1980)
In contradiction to the prediction of the Periodic Table but in agreement with earlier suggestions by Brewer and Mann, the ground state configuration of atomic Lawrencium (Z = 103) will not be 7s^2 6d^2 D_3/2 but 7s^2 7p ^2p_1/2. The reason for this deviation from normal trends across the Periodic Table are strong relativistic effects on the outermost 7P_l/2 orbital. Multicontiguration Dirac-Fock calculations are reported for Lawrencium and analogous lighter atoms. These calculations include contributions from magnetic ...

Evidence for an additional coupling of the innermost shells in very heavy quasi-molecular ion-atom collisions
(1982)
Due to the tremendous spin-orbit splitting of quasi-molecular levels in superheavy collision systems (Z = Z_1 + Z_2 {\ge\approx} 137) bombarding energy 0.5-6 MeV N{^-1}, unusual couplings may occur around Z \simeq 165. Experimental evidence for such a theoretically predicted coupling is discussed.

Total differential scattering cross section of {Ar^+}-Ar at 15 to 400 keV
(1987)
We report on the measurement of the total differential scattering cross section of {Ar^+}-Ar at laboratory energies between 15 and 400 keV. Using an ab initio relativistic molecular program which calculates the interatomic potential energy curve with high accuracy, we are able to reproduce the detailed structure found in the experiment.

Theoretical evidence for quasi-molecular structure at small internuclear distances in elastic ion-atom scattering
(1985)
The potential energy curve of the system Ne-Ne is calculated for small internuclear distances from 0.005 to 3.0 au using a newly developed relativistic molecular Dirac-Fock-Slater code. A significant structure in the potential energy curve is found which leads to a nearly complete agreement with experimental differential elastic scattering cross sections. This demonstrates the presence of quasi-molecular effects in elastic ion-atom collisions at keV energies.

Influence of the electronic shell structure on the elastic scattering of heavy ions
(1982)
The interatomic potential of the system I - I at intermediate and small distances is calculated from atomic DFS electron densities within a statistical model. Structures in the potential, due to the electronic shells, are investigated. Calculations of the elastic differential scattering cross section for small angles and several keV impact energies show a detailed peak pattern which can be correlated to individual electronic shell interaction.
