Abstract Using a simple analytic formula from closed orbit theory, we have calculated the photoabsorption spectra of Li atom in different magnetic fields. Closed orbits in the corresponding classical system have also been obtained for B=5.96T. We demonstrate schematically that the closed orbits disappear gradually with the decrease of the magnitude of the magnetic field. This gives us a good method to control the closed orbits in the corresponding system by changing the magnetic field, and thus changing the peaks in the photoabaorption spectra. By comparing the photoabsorption spectra of Li atom with those of hydrogen case, we find the core-scattered effects play an important role in multi-electron Rydberg atoms.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
