Abstract

With cadmium(Cd) for example,the normal Zeeman effect phenomenon of an atom with spin for zero is described,and also,the interpretations to the normal Zeeman effect phenomenon by two methods are given in this paper.At the same time,the differences between the two interpretations are discussed.

A Treatise on Determing the Normal Zeeman Effect

Liv Yue-xin

The article points out that the evidence is wrong that the normal zeeman effect depends on whether the magnetic field is srtrong or weak by inference from math and quanrtum mechanics of the atom inside the magnetic field. Only when the total spin of the atom is zero can the normal zeeman effect inside the magneric field be produce. Taking hold of this intrinsic attribute of atcm is to grasp its essentials.

Secondary Radiation and Polarization of Resonance Radiation in Cadmium

Walter A. MacNair

Secondary radiation in cadmium vapor containing mercury as an impurity.---Attention is called to the points of difference between the conditions under which the two types of optically excited spectra of mercury vapor appear, namely resonance radiation and fluorescence. In the present experiments it is noted that when a bulb containing cadmium with a slight impurity of mercury is illuminated by light of 2288A wave-length the secondary radiation contains the mercury line 2536.7A in addition to the cadmium lines 2288A and 3261A provided the metal is distilling. As soon as the vapor is stagnant, however, only the cadmium 2288A line appears. The suggestion is made that the phenomenon is due to the presence in the distilling vapor of unstable HgCd molecules. In such a molecule the Cd atom may absorb the 2288A radiation and subsequently in the breakdown of the molecule may excite the Hg atom by a collision of the second kind.Polarization of the cadmium resonance, radiation in zero magnetic field.---The polarization of the cadmium resonance radiation (3261A) in zero magnetic field under certain conditions was found to be 35 percent. In order to explain this value by the kinetic theory, one must assign effective radii to the colliding atoms which are thirty times the radii effective in ordinary collisions.

Paul Sophus Epstein

The treatment of the Zeeman effect from the point of view of Schroedinger's theory presents certain difficulties. Let us consider the case of a hydrogen atom in a homogeneous magnetic field of the strength H.

Optically excited Zeeman coherences in atomic ground states: Nuclear-spin effects

Dieter Suter

Optical experiments in alkali-metal atomic gases are usually interpreted in terms of the J=1/2 ground state, treating the electronic ground state as a degenerate two-level system. While this simplified level scheme has been quite successful in describing many experimental results, the nuclear spin can lead to significant modifications of the behavior. Apart from the obvious differences, such as the existence of hyperfine splitting, some more subtle effects are present that modify the dynamical as well as the equilibrium behavior of the system. An an example, the optical pumping process in the true atomic ground state is nonexponential and slower by at least an order of magnitude, compared to a hypothetical atom with nuclear spin zero. The limitations of the J=1/2 model are analyzed theoretically and experimentally for atomic sodium, and experimental methods are demonstrated that can help disentangle the contributions from different hyperfine components.
