Quantum dynamics of isolated molecules: general discussion

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Dmitri Babikov from the Stephen Leone followed up with another question to Adam Kirrander: How are the heavy Rydberg states affected by blackbody radiation? Normal Rydberg states are easily destroyed by long wavelength radiationHowever, momentum conservation considerations and effective potentials might make for different considerations for heavy Rydberg states. Are heavy Rydberg states as susceptible to absorbing blackbody light and being lost? Adam Kirrander responded: This is an interesting question. Rydberg states have long radiative lifetimes, which for instance underpins the importance of dissociative recombination as a key process for charge neutralisation in interstellar space [1 . . .
