Low energy (e,2e) ionization of Argon in the equal energy sharing geometry

Quantum Defect theory is a well established theoretical concept in modern spectroscopy. We show that this approach is useful in electron impact ionization problems where state of the art theoretical methods are presently restricted mostly to simple atomic targets. For the well documented Argon ionization case in equal energy sharing geometry the approach suggested leads to significant improvements compared to previous calculations.

Distorted Waves with Exact Non-Local Exchange: a Canonical Function Approach

It is shown how the Canonical Function approach can be used to obtain accurate solutions for the distorted wave problem taking account of direct static and polarisation potentials and exact non-local exchange. Calculations are made for electrons in the field of atomic hydrogen and the phaseshifts are compared with those obtained using a modified form of the DWPO code of McDowell and collaborators: for small wavenumbers our approach avoids numerical instabilities otherwise present. Comparison is also made with phaseshifts calculated using local equivalent-exchange potentials and it is found that these are inaccurate at small wavenumbers. Extension of our method to the case of atoms having other than s-type outer shells is dicussed.
