Abstract

The electron impact excitation of the He₂³S, ¹S, P cross sections were re-investigated from threshold to a maximum of 8 eV above threshold (in the case of the ₃S state). Data are plotted showing a comparison of theoretical and experimental values of the He 1s2s³S and 1s2s¹S excitation cross sections. 6 references. (JFP)

State selective extreme ultraviolet (EUV) photoemission cross sections for excitation and ionization-excitation of helium in fast electron and positive ion collisions: He{sup {lg_bullet}} (1snp) {sup 1}P{sup {lg_bullet}} (n=2 to 10) and He{sup +} (np) (n=2 to 10) Rydberg states

Journal Article Rodrigue, M; Colegrove, T; Bailey, M - Bulletin of the American Physical Society

We have analyzed high resolution (EUV) spectra of HeI and HeII originating from e{sup -}, H{sup +}, H{sub 2}{sup +} and H{sub 3}{sup +} bombardment of He gas. From these data excitation and ionization-excitation cross sections have been obtained by the HeI (1snp){sup 1}P{sup o} {yields} (1s2){sup 1}S + h{nu} and HeII (np){sup 2}P{sup o}-(1s){sup 2}S + h{nu} Rydberg series with main quantum numbers from n=2 to 10, respectively. The determination of the individual line intensities has been accomplished using the IRAF one dimensional spectroscopy package installed on the Physics Department`s HP9000 system.

Cross sections and threshold effects for electron-impact excitation of the (2s$sup 2$) $sup 1$S and (2s2p) $sup 3$P states of helium

Journal Article Spence, D - Phys. Rev., A, v. 12, no. 6, pp. 2353-2360

The energy and intensity of scattered electrons resulting from excitation of the (2s$sup 2$) $sup 1$S and (2s2p) $sup 3$P autoionizing states of helium have been measured as a function of incident electron energy. For incident energies only slightly higher than the threshold for (2s$sup 2$) $sup 1$S excitation, post-collision interactions between the scattered and ejected electrons cause the slowly moving scattered electron to lose an amount of energy proportional to E$sup -1$$.$$sup 25$/sub ex/ (where E/sub ex/ is the energy the scattered electron would have had in the absence of a post-collision interaction). This energy dependence compares well withmore »« less
Electron-impact excitation of n = 2 levels of helium at intermediate energies. [30 to 100 eV, integral and differential cross sections, coupling]

Technical Report Bhadra, K; Callaway, J; Henry, R

Five-state close coupling equations for electron--helium scattering are solved in the energy region from 30 to 100 eV. Integral and differential cross sections for excitation of the ground state to the n = 2 states (2/sup 3/S, 2/sup 1/S, 2/sup 3/P/sup 0/, and 2/sup 1/P/sup 0/) are presented. Calculated shapes of differential cross sections versus angle for various energies are in good agreement with measurements, but the magnitude of the cross sections are overestimated. Allowance for coupling between 2/sup 3/S and 2/sup 3/P/sup 0/ brings calculated differential cross sections into good quantitative agreement with experiment. 38 references.
Electron-impact excitation of helium: Cross sections, n, and l distributions of high Rydberg states

Journal Article Schiavone, J; Donohue, D; Herrick, D; ... - Phys. Rev., A; (United States)

Helium atoms in highly excited Rydberg states are produced by electron impact and are detected by electric field ionization. The principal quantum numbers n are determined to lie in the range 20 < or approx. = n < or approx. = 80 by ionizing the excited He atoms in a uniform, swept electric field. The absolute excitation cross section for 100-eV incident electrons is found to be (9 +- 5) x 10/sup -17//n/sup 3/ cm/sup 2/. This expression predicts a value for n = 4 that agrees with the optically measured n = 4 cross section. The 108-..mu..sec time ofmore »« less

Electron impact excitation of the Hg(6 /sup 3/P/sub 0//sub ,//sub 2/) metastable states. [Threshold to 8. 5 eV, excitation functions, cross sections]

Journal Article Krause, H; Johnson, S; Datz, S - Phys. Rev., A; (United States)

Electron impact excitation functions for the Hg(6 /sup 3/P/sub 0//sub ,//sub 2/) metastable states were measured from threshold to 8.5 eV. The 6 /sup 3/P/sub 0//sub ,//sub 2/ states were detected by monitoring the forbidden photon emission. The 6 /sup 3/P/sub 2/ state was also selectively detected by monitoring the 2537-A emission from collisional deexcitation to the 6 /sup 3/P/sub 1/ state followed by radiative decay to 6 /sup 1/S/sub 0/. Structure observed in the excitation functions appears to be due to autoionization of short-lived excited states of Hg/sup -/. The ratio of cross sections for formation of the 6more »« less
