Quantum mechanical calculations of ultralow-energy collision of Coulomb three-body systems in the hyperspherical elliptic coordinates are presented. The nonadiabatic coupling between the hyperradius and hyperangular variables is treated with the slow-variable discretization method in combination with the-matrix propagation technique. For scattering state calculations, the two-dimensional matching procedure using Gailitis's method [M. Gailitis, J. Phys. B 9, 843 (1976)JPAMA40022-370010.1088/0022-3700/9/5/027; C. Noble and R. Nesbet, Comput. Phys. Commun. 33, 399 (1984)CPHCBZ0010-465510.1016/0010-4655(84)90145-0] is implemented to determine the boundary conditions between the internal and the asymptotic wave functions. This method is proved to be very efficient and gives very accurate results. Taking advantage of this method, we accurately calculate the scattering phase shifts and the scattering lengths of Coulomb three-body systems with mass ratio varying over several orders of magnitudes. We observed jumps of the scattering length fromtoat certain mass ratios and monotonic decreases between two jumps. These are closely related to the binding energy of the highest bound state through Levinson's theorem [N. Levinson, K. Dan. Vidensk. Selsk. Mat. Fys. Medd. 25, 9 (1949)]. Our calculations provide a comprehensive perspective to the scattering length from the variation of mass ratio of Coulomb three-body systems.
