Measurement of lithium and sodium metastable quartet atoms in a hollow-cathode discharge.

چکیده
We report the measurement, in a pulsed hollow-cathode discharge, of metastable quartet atoms of Li and Na. By using a tunable probe laser, population densities of 3x10(10) atoms cm(-3) and 10(11) atoms cm(-3) were measured in the Li(1s2s2p)4P degrees and Na(2p(5)3s3p)(4)D(7/2) levels, respectively. These levels are candidates for energy storage for extreme-ultraviolet lasers.

Comparison of hollow cathode and Penning discharges for metastable He production
The production of helium 2 1S singlet metastable atoms has been investigated using a hollow cathode discharge and a Penning discharge, under dc discharge conditions. The density of metastable atoms was measured by atomic absorption using the 2 1S–3 1P transition (501.57 nm). A range of plasma currents, varying from 16 to 180 mA, and a range of pressures, from 100 mTorr to 5 Torr, were investiga...
متن کاملElectrochemical Characterization of Low-Cost Lithium-Iron Orthosilicate Samples as Cathode Materials of Lithium-Ion Battery
Lithium-iron-orthosilicate is one of the most promising cathode materials for Li-ion batteries due to its safety, environmental brightness and potentially low cost. In order to produce a low cost cathode material, Li2FeSiO4/C samples are synthesized via sol-gel (SG; one sample) and solid state (SS; two samples with different carbon content), starting from Fe (III) in the raw materials (lo...

In this paper the nature, the characteristics, and the potential applications of the optogalvanic effect are explored in a broad set of experiments. The optogalvanic effect was investigated, for the Ar, Ne, He, Ar +, He +, Cu and Na atoms and N2, H~, CO, CN, NH2, He2, and CuO molecules in recombination-limited hollow cathode plasmas, with the use of dye lasers. Comparative studies of the time d...
متن کاملHollow Cathode Discharges for Gas Lasers
With the exception of the 632.8 nm neon line all the important visible and ultraviolet cw gas laser lines belong to the spectra of ionized atoms. To achieve proper laser oscillation the excitation of the upper levels of these lines is of primary importance. High energy electrons are needed for this process. As such electrons are in high concentration in the hollow cathode discharge, it was obvi...
