Photoionization cross section of atomic nitrogen calculated by the many-channel quantum defect method

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Atoms and Nuclei

Abstract

The many-channel quantum defect method has been used for the calculation of the photoionization cross section of ground-state nitrogen atoms in the dipole length approximation. The calculations couple three channels corresponding to the 2s 2 2p 2 and 2s2p 3 configurations of the residual ion. The results obtained are in agreement with experiment for the energy region between the ionization limit and 1 rydberg unit beyond.
