The oscillator-strength distribution between the discrete and continuous regions of the spectrum of the alkali elements Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs has been obtained by following the quantum defect orbital (QDO) procedure. Continuity across the spectral-series limit has been found, and ionization-threshold cross sections are also reported.

AbstractA brief review is given of how a constrained dipole oscillator strength distribution (DOSD) is constructed from experimental and possibly theoretical photoabsorption cross-sections with constraints provided by molar refractivity data and the Kuhn–Reiche–Thomas sum rule. Some recent refinements including the imposition of the correct high-energy behavior on the DOSD for homoatomic molecules are discussed and extended to the general molecular case. A sample application to pyridine is given.

The oscillator strength distribution between the discrete and continuous regions of the spectra of Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba has been obtained. Computations have been carried out through the Quantum Defect Orbital (QDO) method, with explicit introduction of the two-electron transitions that lead to resonances in the spectra of the last three elements. Interference effects between excitations to autoionizing levels and to the continuum have been ignored.

Dipole oscillator strength distributions have been constructed and used to evaluate integrated oscillator strengths, and a variety of dipole oscillator strength properties, for ground state SO2, CS2, and OCS. Each distribution has been constructed by using experimental and theoretical photoabsorption cross sections and by subjecting the resulting dipole oscillator strength data to constraints provided by the Thomas–Reiche–Kuhn sum rule and molar refractivity data for the relevant dilute gases. The discussion includes graphical presentations of how various spectral regions of the dipole oscillator strength distributions contribute to the more important dipole properties.

We investigate nonrelativistically Compton scattering by an electron bound in hydrogen in a powerful laser field. The corresponding nonlinear rates and cross sections are evaluated in a Keldysh-type of approximation and compared with the rates and cross sections of multiphoton ionization and harmonic generation. We find that multiphoton ionization overshadows Compton scattering by many orders of magnitude, however, Compton scattering may well compete with harmonic generation above the ionization threshold, since, in particular, both processes have the same angular distribution and only odd harmonics can be created by bound electrons, while in bound-free Compton scattering all harmonics will be generated.
