Oscillator-strength moments, stopping powers, and total inelastic-scattering cross sections of all atoms through strontium

Abstract

Systematics of the atomic properties named in the title and of other related quantities have been comprehensively studied. Our calculations are based on a single-electron approximation using the Hartree-Slater central potential---a model that represents a reasonable compromise between two goals, namely, a realistic description of the major features of atomic dynamics and an economical computation necessary for a survey over many atoms. Our results not only quantify the general trends of the atomic properties as qualitatively expected from the periodic table, but also provide a sensible guide to experiment (on atoms for which no other data are available), to theory (for which we suggest several specific aims of more advanced analysis), and to applications including radiological physics and charged-particle microscopy.
