Rubidium 5'P fine-structure transitions induced by collisions with potassium and caesium atoms
نویسندگان
چکیده
A diode-laser fluorescence experiment was performed in order to study fineStNCtUre transitions between 5'P states of rubidium atoms colliding with ground-state potassium or caesium atoms. The Rb(5'P,/,) state was optically excited and the intensity ratio of sensitized to direct fluorescence was measured. The obtained cross sections for the excitation energy transfer Rb('P,,J + Rb('PII2) induced by collisions with K and Cs ( T = 573 K) are u=54A2*30% and U = 15 A2*30%, respectively. Assuming detailed balancing, the cross sections for the reverse process Rb('P,/,)+ Rb('P,,J are U = 60 Ai+30%, and U = 16.5 A2*30% for K and Cs, respectively.

Caesium 6P fine-structure mixing and quenching induced by collisions with ground-state caesium atoms and molecules
Applying the cw laser fluorescence method, the cross sections for the fine structure mixing and quenching of the Cs 6P state, induced by collisions with ground-state caesium atoms and molecules, have been measured. Caesium atoms were optically excited to the 5DJ states via quadrupole-allowed 6S1/2 → 5DJ transitions, while the resonance states were populated by the radiative and collisional 5DJ ...

Applying the cw laser absorption and fluorescence method the cross sections for the fine-structure mixing and quenching of the caesium 5DJ states have been measured in pure caesium vapour. Caesium atoms were optically excited to the 5D5/2 state via the quadrupole-allowed 6S1/2 → 5D5/2 transition. The ground-state caesium density N0, obtained from the absorption at the pumped quadrupole transiti...

above. For example, does each carbon atom of the ring in phenol lack one electron of filling its eight "possible electron positions" or do three of the carbon atoms lack two electrons each while the remaining three carbon atoms have all their "possible electron positions" filled, or is there some other combination? In conclusion, the main purpose of presenting this detailed scale model of the b...
متن کاملCrossed Molecular Beam Study of Collision-induced Dissociation of Alkali Halides*
Recent studies by Berry et al. [1,2] of collisional dissociation of alkali halides by shockheated argon have shown that, in vibrationallyequilibrated gases, some alkali halides (all cesium, rubidium and potassium salts except RbI and KI) dissociate completely to ion pairs, although dissociation to neutral atoms requires less energy. An e_xpression for the branching ratio for the different disso...

The enhancement factors of the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the ground states of two paramagnetic atoms; rubidium (Rb) and caesium (Cs) which are sensitive to the electron EDM are computed using the relativistic coupled-cluster theory and our results are compared with the available calculations and measurements. The possibility of improving the limit for the electron EDM using the results of...
