Thesis
Rydberg ionisation into confined and discrete systems
- Abstract:
-
The energy levels of a hydrogen Rydberg atom approaching a metallic structure are perturbed by the image-charge interaction with the surface. At small atom-surface separations surface ionisation of the Rydberg electron can occur, whereby the electron is transferred to a metal-localised state. In previous studies investigating surface ionisation at bulk metallic surfaces, this state has been part of a conduction band; however this thesis focuses on metallic and structured surfaces where the...
