Initial population of large-l Rydberg states for the radiative deexcitation in the beam-foil geometry

Dynamics of the Rydberg state population of slow highly charged ions impinging a solid surface at arbitrary collision geometry

“…[19] and for  v 1 a.u. [20], as well as for the grazing incidence on a solid surface [21]. The arbitrary collision geometry was not studied by the TVM.…”

“…We consider the normal incidence: p F = 2 in in respect to the surface. The model yields the charge of the ion ( ) expressed by(20) and (21), respectively.…”

Evidence of circular Rydberg states in beam-foil experiments: Role of the surface wake field

“…Further, Mirković et al [35] has proposed a model for explaining the high l population at the exit surface of the foil. Nedeljković et al [20] applied the TVM for the high n and the high l states to get the resonance like structures, which are in good agreement with the experimental observations [17,18]. In contrast, the experimental study by Betz et al [28] shows the signature of the bulk effect on the formation of CRS.…”

“…Nevertheless, Nandi [17] recently observed these states in the H-like projectile ions and thereafter confirmed the same in the projectile-like ions [18] using the beam-foil technique. Later, Nedeljković et al [19,20] explained these results using the two-state vector model (TVM). Mishra et al [21] also presented the above experimental results using the summing method of Curtis [22].…”

“…According to the TVM model [19,20], the state of a single active electron of the ion-surface system is described by the two state vectors ψ 1 (t) and ψ 2 (t). Here ψ 1 (t) evolves from the initial parabolic state towards the future, while ψ 2 (t) proceeds towards the final state.…”
