Quantum chaos, statistical equilibrium and resonant radiative capture of electrons by multicharged ions: Au 24+
G. F. Gribakin, A. A. Gribakina, V. V. Flambaum
We show that the spectrum and eigenstates of open-shell multicharged atomic ions near the ionization threshold are chaotic, as a result of extremely high level densities of multipl…

Can We Apply Statistical Laws to Small Systems? the Cerium Atom
V. V. Flambaum, A. A. Gribakina, G. F. Gribakin +1
It is shown that statistical mechanics is applicable to quantum systems with finite numbers of particles, such as complex atoms, atomic clusters, etc., where the residual two-body…
