RUI: Nondipole and Quantum Confinement Effects in Atomic Spectra

本项目旨在促进对原子和离子在低光子能量（几十eV到几keV）的光电子角分布中的非偶极子（四极子和多极子）干涉效应的理解，促进对量子受限结构的理解，并促进北阿拉巴马大学的研究和教育的整合。明确:一个。了解各种具有闭壳层和开壳层原子和离子的光电子角分布中非偶极子效应的特性，特别是表现出和/或nf坍缩的原子和离子。目的：研究高压和腔内受限（A@C60nano-formations.C）条件下约束对受限原子结构和光离的影响。让本科生（包括国际学生）参与研究，从而为他们提供获得卓越的专业教育和培训的机会，以进入物理学或科学和工程领域的研究生学习，从而促进UNA研究和教育的整合，并具有国际教育影响。加强研究基础设施，强调四年制大学教师的教授-研究员模式

This project aims at advancing the understanding of nondipole(quadrupole, andoctupole)interference effects in photoelectron angular distributions from atoms and ionsat low photon energies (tens eV to a few keV), at advancing the understanding ofquantum confined structures, and at fostering integration of research and education atthe University of North Alabama. Specifically:A. To learn about peculiarities of nondipole effects in photoelectron angulardistributions from a variety of atoms and ions with closed shells and open-shell atoms,especially atoms and ions that exhibit nd and/or nf collapse.B. To study confinement-produced effects on the structure and photoionization ofconfined atoms, both under high pressure and endohedrally confined in A@C60nano-formations.C. To involve undergraduate students, including international students, in research,thereby providing them an opportunity to get a superior professional education andtraining for entry into graduate study in physics or scientific and engineering careers,thus fostering integration of research and education at UNA with an internationaleducation impact.D. To enhance research infrastructure and emphasize the professor-researchermodel for faculty at four year UNA
