Abstract

We present the results of numerical experiments performed using our recently developed Atomic Oscillator model of re-radiation by atomic dipole induced by an incident coherent electro-magnetic wave. Unlike the commonly known Lorentz Oscillator model that is parametric, our Atomic Oscillator model uses real (not fictitious) potential as one of the input parameters. In this work we present a study of the optical response of a hydrogen-like atom with the potentials from two representative atomic models: Rutherford-Bohr-Sommerfeld and De Broglie-Bohm-Gryzinski/Atomic Orbitals. The results indicate that the Rutherford-Bohr-Sommerfeld model of the atom coupled with our Atomic Oscillator model produces the most accurate simulation of different optical properties of materials.
