Relativistic photoionization of H isoelectronic series including plasma shielding effects

preprint2018arXivOpen access

Abstract

With plasma shielding effects of the Debye-Hückel model, we investigate the relativistic photoionization processes of H, Nb40+^{40+} and Pb81+^{81+} plasmas in the H-isoelectronic series. The shielded nuclear potential of Yukawa-type experienced by the electron is parameterized by Debye-length DD. To account for relativistic effects non- perturbatively, we solve the Dirac equation for the bound as well as continuum wavefunctions. Contributions from multipole fields are calculated for high incident photon energies, while the angular distribution and spin polarization parameters of photoelectrons are provided in the electric-dipole approximation. Our results of photoionization cross sections for the H plasma agree with other available theoretical calculations. The interplay between the relativistic and plasma shielding effects on the photoionization parameters is also studied. \keywords{Photoionization, Multipole effect, Debye plasma, Hydrogen atom, Hydrogen-like ions
