RUI: Nondipole and Quantum Confinement Effects in Atomic Spectra

该项目旨在促进对低光子能量（几十eV到几keV）下原子和离子光电子角分布中的非偶极（四极和多极）干涉效应的理解，促进对量子受限结构的理解，并促进北亚拉巴马大学的研究和教育一体化。具体来说：A.了解各种具有闭壳层和开壳层原子的原子和离子，特别是具有nd和/或nf电子的原子和离子的光电子角分布中非偶极效应的特殊性。研究了高压下和在A@C60纳米结构中，受限原子的结构和光电离对受限原子产生的影响。让包括国际学生在内的本科生参与研究，从而为他们提供一个获得上级专业教育和培训的机会，以便进入物理学或科学和工程职业的研究生学习，从而促进UNA的研究和教育的融合，并产生国际教育影响。加强研究基础设施，强调四年制UNA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
