Chaos in the relativistic two-electron atom.
Chaotic autoionization of the relativistic two-electron atom is investigated. A theoretical analysis of chaotic dynamics of the relativistic outer electron under the periodic perturbation due to the inner electron, assumed to be on a circular orbit, based on the Chirikov criterion, is given. The diffusion coefficient, the ionization rate, and time are calculated. (c) 2002 American Institute of Physics.
