We propose a novel mechanism of electron localization and molecular symmetry breaking in dissociative photoionization of the H$_2$ molecule. The Coulomb field of the ejected electron can induce transition of the remaining H$_2^+$ ion from…
It is economical to devise ways and means to simplify a multi-species particle system. The single fluid MHD description of a plasma is sufficiently adequate to study plasma phenomena . A plasma containing multi-species of particles can also…
For some values of the constituent masses m_i, the hydrogen-like molecule (m_1^+,m_2^+,m_3^-,m_4^-) is stable with respect to spontaneous dissociation into two neutral atoms, while none of its three-body subsystems such as…
We study the Hydrogen atom as a quantum mechanical system with a Coulomb like potential, with a semiclassical approach based on an effective description of quantum mechanics. This treatment allows us to describe the quantum state of the…
Ab initio quantum chemistry reveals how the charge-antisymmetric antihydrogenic antiHH+ state, deriving from conventional positional antisymmetry of a 3-unit charge system, is hidden in the PEC (potential energy curve) of the molecular…
We study numerically stabilization against ionization of a fully correlated two-electron model atom in an intense laser pulse. We concentrate on two frequency regimes: very high frequency, where the photon energy exceeds both, the…
Electron-electron correlation forms the basis of difficulties encountered in multi-electron systems. Accurate treatment of the correlation problem is likely to unravel some nice physical properties of matter embedded in this correlation. In…
In the framework of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics we derive a necessary condition for four Coulomb charges $(m_{1}^+, m_{2}^-, m_{3}^+, m_{4}^-)$, where all masses are assumed finite, to form the stable system. The obtained stability…
Supersolidity -- a quantum-mechanical phenomenon characterized by the presence of both superfluidity and crystalline order -- was initially envisioned in the context of bulk solid helium, as a possible answer to the question of whether a…
We analyse the influence of entanglement on the emission properties of atoms. To this end, first, we propose a scheme for the preparation of a pair of entangled Helium atoms, one in the ortho and the other in the para spin configuration. We…
We extend our analysis of two electrons on a sphere [Phys. Rev. A {\bf 79}, 062517 (2009); Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 103}, 123008 (2009)] to electrons on concentric spheres with different radii. The strengths and weaknesses of several…
We investigate here ground state properties of atoms, in which substitute fermions -- electrons by bosons, e.g. $\pi $ - meson. We perform some calculations in the frame of modified Hartree-Fock (HF) equation. The modification takes into…
A system of two initially homogeneous, physically real fields uniformly attracted to each other is considered as the simplest basis of the self-developing world structure. It is shown that the system is unstable against periodic cycles of…
We show that a double quantum-dot system made of diluted magnetic semiconductor behaves unlike usual molecules. In a semiconductor double quantum dot or in a diatomic molecule, the ground state of a single carrier is described by a…
The dynamics of electrons in the presence of a positive ion is considered for conditions of weak electron-electron couping but strong electron-ion coupling. The equilibrium electron density and electric field time correlation functions are…
We present results of molecular dynamics simulations of the electron system on the surface of liquid helium. The simulations are done for 1600 electrons with periodic boundary conditions. Electron scattering by capillary waves and phonons…
We study the influence of quantizing perpendicular magnetic fields on the ground state of a bilayer with electron and hole fluids separated by an opaque tunnel barrier. In the absence of a field, the ground state at low carrier densities is…
We present a direct ab initio solution of the Schrodinger equation for neutral helium and helium-like atoms that reproduces the energy of the singlet S state 1S0. By redefining the two-electron wavefunction with tools from complex analysis…
We explore the possibility that the fast and exotic negative ions in superfluid helium are electrons bound to quantized vortex structures, the simplest being a ring. In the states we consider, the electron energy is only slightly below the…
A fully relativistic calculation of the double photoionization of helium-like atoms is presented. The approach is based on the partial-wave representation of the Dirac continuum states and accounts for the retardation in the…
