摘要: The ionization of xenon atoms excited to the extreme red and blue states in high-lying Xe(n) Stark manifolds at a metal surface is investigated. data show that, despite their very different initial spatial characteristics, members given manifold ionize similar atom/surface separations. This explained, with aid complex scaling calculations, terms strong perturbations energies structure atomic induced by presence which lead avoided crossings between neighboring levels as approached.
