Wannier-ridge states of He and H(-) with symmetries (3)P(e) and (1)D(o) and the validity of classification schemata

J Chem Phys. 2010 Apr 21;132(15):154111. doi: 10.1063/1.3385316.

Abstract

High lying doubly excited Wannier-ridge states of He and H(-) with symmetries (3)P(e) and (1)D(o) are studied and energies and intrinsic characteristics of their wave functions are reported. Energies of these states associated with the hydrogenic threshold up to N=20 are presented and, wherever available, we compare them to other calculations. Proposed classification schemata for these states by approximate collective quantum numbers are examined.
