Collisional depopulation of a high-lying P state of potassium
نویسندگان
چکیده
2014 Total cross-sections for the collisional depopulation of the 10 P level of Potassium by Potassium and rare gases have been measured, with the following results : Q (K) = 6 000 ± 3 000 Å2; Q (He) = 18 ± 6 Å2 ; Q (Ar) = 8 ± 3 Å2 ; and Q (Xe) = 40 ± 15 Å2. The importance of the electronic excitation transfer to neighbouring levels is clearly demonstrated as well as the influence of the quasi-free behaviour of the valence electron.

Data on inelastic processes in low-energy potassium-hydrogen and rubidium-hydrogen collisions
Two sets of rate coefficients for low-energy inelastic potassium-hydrogen and rubidiumhydrogen collisions were computed for each collisional system based on two model electronic structure calculations, performed by the quantum asymptotic semi-empirical and the quantum asymptotic linear combinations of atomic orbitals (LCAO) approaches, followed by quantum multichannel calculations for the non-a...
متن کاملPlane Strain Deformation of a Poroelastic Half-Space Lying Over Another Poroelastic Half-Space
The plane strain deformation of an isotropic, homogeneous, poroelastic medium caused by an inclined line-load is studied using the Biot linearized theory for fluid saturated porous materials. The analytical expressions for the displacements and stresses in the medium are obtained by applying suitable boundary conditions. The solutions are obtained analytically for the limiting case of undrained...
متن کاملA study of the predissociation of NaK molecules in the 6 1S1 state by optical–optical double resonance spectroscopy
Predissociation of a high-lying S state of NaK is studied using the optical–optical double resonance technique. A single-mode ring dye laser is set to a particular 2(A)S(v8,J8) ←1(X)S(v9,J9) transition. Another single-mode laser ~Ti–sapphire! is then used to excite the molecule from the 2(A)S(v8,J8) level, to rovibrational levels of a higher predissociating electronic state, which we identify a...

Available online xxxx Purpose: This study explored the effects of prison depopulation on local jail violence through a general systems perspective – where an abrupt shift in the processing of offenders had the potential to create ripple effects through other organizations – of the criminal justice system. Methods: In 2011, California passed the Criminal Justice Realignment legislation aimed to ...
متن کاملLaser spectroscopic studies of state-dependent collisional quenching of the lifetimes of metastable antiprotonic helium atoms
A laser spectroscopic method was developed to directly observe the lifetimes of individual states in metastable antiprotonic helium atoms ( p̄ He). Collisional effects with surrounding helium atoms were studied in cryogenic gas targets at pressures between 0.1 and 9.0 bars and at temperatures between 5.5 and 7.0 K. The metastable state (n ,l )5(39,35) showed a lifetime of 1.5 ms, regardless of d...
