Visualization of Atomic Collisions Calculations.
Description
of the physics illustrated by the animations
Article
by Mette Machholm and Christine Courbin who used the movies in research
Animations
Each of the animations is about 120 kB of data transfer
na3p-
Li+ ion colliding with Na atom laser excited to 3p m = -1 state (watch
the current)
na3p+
Li+ ion colliding with Na atom laser excited to 3p m = +1 state (watch
the current)
Comparison of both na3p+
and na3p- in one window.
(Best on newer machines and larger screens, minimum 800 pixels wide). If you use Microsoft Exploder,
please read the next entry, part about
frames.
Tips for use of the animations
to understand the physical mechanisms.
