For heavy projectiles on light targets, the experimental measurements of mean-depth and of lateral-range straggle indicate discrepancies of up to 100% in the previous numerical solutions which are based upon a Thomas–Fermi interaction potential. In contrast, the present Monte Carlo (MC) results, which are based upon a solid-state Thomas–Fermi (SSTF) interaction, are in good agreement with experiment. The present SSTF mean-depth estimates are also in good agreement with estimates based on semiempirical potentials and with estimates based on Hartree–Fock–Slater interaction potentials. There remain small discrepancies between experiment and all theoretical estimates of the mean depth. In the case of the lateral-range straggle, the present MC SSTF results are in excellent agreement with experiment. The previous large discrepancies between theory and experiment are attributed, in part, to the choice of potential and, in part, to the numerical methods used to obtain the lateral-range straggle. In addition, the present MC SSTF calculations of the mean-depth and lateral-range straggle for equal mass and light projectile on heavy target collision pairs are in closer agreement with existing numerical estimates.

AbstractWe consider the stability of the circular Fermi surface of a two-dimensional electron gas system against an elliptical deformation induced by an anisotropic Coulomb interaction potential. We use the jellium approximation for the neutralizing background and treat the electrons as fully spin-polarized (spinless) particles with a constant isotropic (effective) mass. The anisotropic Coulomb interaction potential considered in this work is inspired from studies of two-dimensional electron gas systems in the quantum Hall regime. We use a Hartree–Fock procedure to obtain analytical results for two special Fermi liquid quantum electronic phases. The first one corresponds to a system with circular Fermi surface while the second one corresponds to a liquid anisotropic phase with a specific elliptical deformation of the Fermi surface that gives rise to the lowest possible potential energy of the system. The results obtained suggest that, for the most general situations, neither of these two Fermi liquid phases represent the lowest energy state of the system within the framework of the family of states considered in this work. The lowest energy phase is one with an optimal elliptical deformation whose specific value is determined by a complex interplay of many factors including the density of the system.

AbstractWe present general analytical expressions for the matrix elements of the atom–diatom interaction potential, expanded in terms of Legendre polynomials, in a basis set of products of two spherical harmonics, especially significant to the recently developed adiabatic variational theory for cold molecular collision experiments [J. Chem. Phys. 143, 074114 (2015); J. Phys. Chem. A 121, 2194 (2017)]. We used two approaches in our studies. The first involves the evaluation of the integral containing trigonometric functions with arbitrary powers. The second approach is based on the theorem of addition of spherical harmonics.
