Received 30 April 2004

Dedicated to the 100th anniversary of Professor A. Jucys

Following the creation of inner-shell vacancy in an atom, the cascade of radiative and nonradiative transitions takes place. It can be analysed employing the final charge distribution of ions, the electron and characteristic emission spectra. The development of the experimental and theoretical investigation of cascades is shortly reviewed. The main attention is paid to the description of a cascade using the global characteristics of spectra, especially in the cases of transitions between close-lying and overlapping configurations. Some applications of the global characteristics method are given.
Keywords: cascade, Auger cascade, highly charged ions, global characteristics

KASKADŲ ATOMUOSE TYRIMAS NAUDOJANTIS BENDROSIOMIS SPEKTRŲ CHARAKTERISTIKOMIS

Sukūrus atomo vidiniame sluoksnyje vakansiją, vyksta radiacinių ir Auger šuolių kaskada. Jų metu atomas daug kartų autojonizuojasi. Kaskados tiriamos, registruojant jonų išeigos, emisijos ir Auger spektrus. Šioje apžvalgoje apibūdinami teoriniai kaskadų nagrinėjimo metodai. Kadangi kaskadoje dalyvauja šimtai ir net tūkstančiai konfigūracijų su keliais atvirais sluoksniais, tai detalūs skaičiavimai yra sunkiai įmanomi. Dažniausiai nagrinėjami šuoliai ne tarp atskirų lygmenų, bet tarp konfigūracijų, naudojantis bendrosiomis spektrų charakteristikomis – vidutine energija ir sumine tikimybe. Tačiau, vykstant šuoliams tarp artimų arba persiklojančių konfigūracijų, reikia naudoti aukštesnius spektrų momentus – dispersiją bei asimetrijos koeficientą, kurių algebrinės išraiškos yra rastos tiek nereliatyvistiniu, tiek reliatyvistiniu artėjimais. Pateikti kaskadų lantanidų atomuose skaičiavimo rezultatai; jie palyginti su eksperimentiniais spektrų duomenimis.
