Abstract
We present momentum-space properties of multiply ionized neon atoms as a function of the degree of ionization of the atom. In particular, we have calculated the Compton profiles of all possible ionized states of neon atoms with electronic configurations 1 s m 2 s n 2 p q , m = 1 –2, n = 0 –2, q = 0 –6. The radial single-electron radial wave functions, obtained from the Hartree–Fock atomic model, were converted into momentum space wave functions by applying appropriate Fourier transformation. The values of the Compton profiles from the present calculation can be used to interpret experimental cross sections of variously ionized neon atoms colliding with other atoms. Compton profiles of neutral neon atoms, available in the literature, are in excellent agreement with the present calculation.
