Confined Atoms: A New Path Towards Controlled Orbital Collapse

  • Chapter
Trends in Atomic and Molecular Physics

Abstract

Atomic orbital collapse, which arises as a result of centrifugal barrier phenomena in many-electron atoms is a well-established effect [1], and has been invoked to account for anomalies in the filling of the d and f transition sequences [2], for the presence of giant resonances in many of their spectra [3], as well as for critical phenomena which appear as perturbations of Rydberg series [4].
