Abstract

Proton-induced differentia] and total alignment is reviewed and some calculations presented. A density matrix formalism is employed as the theoretical framework and a more efficient expansion into state multipoles used. The collision T-matrix elements entering the expression for the alignment tensor are calculated in the semiclassical approximation to first order. A coordinate space formulation including classical hyperbolic trajectories for the projectile path is adopted here, to take proper account of deflection. Relativistic Hartree-Fock orbital wavefunctions for bound and continuum electronic states in the partial-wave expansion cover both screening and relativistic effects in the atom in a unifying scheme. The continuum orbitals are calculated iteratively until the frozen core VN-1 potential converges. © 1995 IOP Publication Ltd.
