Hybrid systems of laser-cooled trapped ions and ultracold atoms combined in a single
experimental setup have recently emerged as a new platform for fundamental research in …

This review is concerned with the physics and chemistry associated with the interactions,
collisions, and reactions of ultracold molecules, that is, molecules having translational …

Quantum defect theory (qdt) is concerned with the properties of an electron in the field of a
positive ion and, in particular, with expressing those properties in terms of analytical …

Multichannel atomic spectra frequently exhibit such extraordinary visual complexity that they
appear at first glance to be uninterpretable. The present review discusses how to unravel …

The hydrogen atom in a uniform magnetic field is discussed as a real and physical example
of a simple nonintegrable system. The quantum mechanical spectrum shows a region of …

A comprehensive review is given on photoionization of rare gas atoms using
monochromatized synchrotron radiation. Emphasis is put upon the general experimental …

We review topics of current interest in the physics of electronic, atomic and molecular
scattering in the vicinity of thresholds. Starting from phase space arguments, we discuss the …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the molecular applications of quantum defect
theory. Quantum defect theory provides a unified description of discrete and continuous …

The molecular multichannel quantum defect theory, initially developed to describe the
escape of an electron from the molecular core region, is extended to include dissociation of …

Advances over the last twenty years are reported, with the emphasis on describing
correlations through the distribution of an electron pair's wavefunction in its configuration …
