Determination of Energies and Lifetimes of the Metastable Auto-Ionizing (1s2s2p)P4 States of Li6 and Li7 by a Zeeman-Quenching Technique

M. Levitt, Robert Novick, P. D. Feldman

A Zeeman-quenching atomic-beam method has been utilized for the determination of the fine- and hyperfine-structure energies and auto-ionization lifetimes of the metastable $(1s2s2p)^{4}P_{J}$ states of ${\mathrm{Li}}^{6}$ and ${\mathrm{Li}}^{7}$. Both the fine-structure intervals and the lifetimes of the $J=\frac{3}{2}$ and $J=\frac{1}{2}$ states are found to be in disagreement with existing theoretical calculations. The quenching of metastable lithium atoms in a nonuniform magnetic field can be satisfactorily described with the aid of the "adiabatic criterion." The present results also permit a quantitative evaluation of a proposal for producing polarized lithium nuclei.

A Zeeman-quenching atomic-beam method has been utilized for the determination of the fine- and hyperfine-structure energies and auto-ionization lifetimes of the metastable (1s2s2p)4PJ(1s2s2p)^{4}P_{J}(1s2s2p)4PJ​ states of Li6{\mathrm{Li}}^{6}Li6 and Li7{\mathrm{Li}}^{7}Li7. Both the fine-structure intervals and the lifetimes of the J=32J=\frac{3}{2}J=23​ and J=12J=\frac{1}{2}J=21​ states are found to be in disagreement with existing theoretical calculations.
