CEM - visualization and discovery in Email

This paper presents a lattice-based visual metaphor for knowledge discovery in electronic mail. It allows a user to navigate email using a visual lattice metaphor rather than a tree structure. By using such a conceptual multi-hierarchy, the content and shape of the lattice can be varied to accommodate any number of queries against the email collection. The system provides more flexibility in retrieving stored emails and can be generalised to any electronic documents. The paper presents the underlying mathematical structures, and a number of examples of the lattice and multi-hierarchy working with a prototypical email collection.

Interatomic potential structures in highly ionized scattering systems

The interatomic potential of the ion-atom scattering system I^N+-I at small intermediate internuclear distances is calculated for different charge states N from atomic Dirac-Focker-Slater (DFS) electron densities within a statistical model. The behaviour of the potential structures, due to ionized electronic shells, is studied by calculations of classical elastic differential scattering cross-sections.

Solution of the time dependent Dirac-Fock-Slater equation for many-electron collisions systems using a time window method

We present a new scheme to solve the time dependent Dirac-Fock-Slater equation (TDDFS) for heavy many electron ion-atom collision systems. Up to now time independent self consistent molecular orbitals have been used to expand the time dependent wavefunction and rather complicated potential coupling matrix elements have been neglected. Our idea is to minimize the potential coupling by using the time dependent electronic density to generate molecular basis functions. We present the first results for 16 MeV S{^16+} on Ar.

Detecting ultrafast interatomic electronic processes in media by fluorescence

Interatomic coulombic decay (ICD), a radiationless transition in weakly bonded systems, such as solutes or van der Waals bound aggregates, is an effective source for electrons of low kinetic energy. So far, the ICD processes could only be probed in ultra-high vacuum by using electron and/or ion spectroscopy. Here we show that resonant ICD processes can also be detected by measuring the subsequently emitted characteristic fluorescence radiation, which makes their study in dense media possible.
