INTERFERENCE OF THE 2p/sub $sup 1$/$sub 2$/ STATE OF THE HYDROGEN ATOM.

A principle is proposed for the observation of the stationary interference pattern of two phase-shifted components of the 2p (or 2s) state of the hydrogen atom (Yu. L. Sokolov, Sov. Phys. JETP 36, 243 (1973)); (Proc. 6-th Internat. Conf. on Atomic Phys., Riga, 1978, p. 207). An atomic interferometer, a device analogous in principle to a two-channel optical (such as Michelson's) interferometer, is used to measure the frequency of the (2s/sub 1/2/, F = 0)--(2p/sub 1/2/, F = 0) transition in the hydrogen atom, which is found to equal 909.9014 +- 0.0019 MHz. The corresponding Lamb shift is delta(H, n = 2) = 1057.8594 +- 0.0019 MHz.A principle is proposed for the observation of the stationary interference pattern of two phase-shifted components of the 2p (or 2s) state of the hydrogen atom (Yu.

Study of anomalous Lamb shift using anisotropic model

G.K. Johri, M. Johri, Akhilesh Tiwari +1 more

Studies of anomalous Lamb shift in 2p/sub 1/2/ state of hydrogen for photon-atom interaction as a function of relative dispersion frequency, refractive index contrast and propagation vector using quadratic fluctuations and randomness in an anisotropic model of Brillouin Zone (BZ) for p polarization are reported. The anomalous Lamb shift in 2p/sub 1/2/ level is significantly more than that obtained by using isotropic model which indicates that odd parity 2p/sub 1/2/ state of hydrogen is significantly influenced by introducing anisotropic behaviour of BZ. This work is new and it is fruitful to provide information about optical properties in laser action within the photonic crystal.Studies of anomalous Lamb shift in 2p/sub 1/2/ state of hydrogen for photon-atom interaction as a function of relative dispersion frequency, refractive index contrast and propagation vector using quadratic fluctuations and randomness in an anisotropic model of Brillouin Zone (BZ) for p polarization are reported.
