摘      要：This paper presents theoretical computations of the ionization rate of Rydberg lithium atom above the classical ionization threshold using semiclassical approximation. The yielded random pulse trains of the escape electrons are recorded as a function of emission time such that they can be related to the terms of the recurrence periods of the photoabsorption. This fact illustrates that it is ionic core scattering processes which give rise to chaos in autoionization dynamics and this is verified by comparison of our results with the hydrogen atom situation. In order to reveal the chaotic properties in detail, the sensitive dependence of the ionization rate upon the scaled energy is discussed for different scaled energies. This approach provides a simple explanation for the chaotic character in autoionization decay of Rydberg alkali-metal atoms.
