Abstract

The fluorescence spectra of four Rydberg series of Ybl have been obtained using laser stepwise excitation in atomic beam. The new energy level data of 6m S1 (n=15 to n=22) and 6s23s 1S0, 6s24s 1S0 are first reported.

We report here the first study of the Yb double‐Rydberg states based on a new time‐of‐flight mass spectroscopy system with five‐lasers resonance excitation. The first quantitative measurement of relative excitation strength for various core states was worked out. The atomic Rydberg states, the autoionizing Rydberg states and ionic Rydberg states were also investigated.

Single-atom detection of ytterbium by selective laser excitation and field ionization from Rydberg states

Detection of single atoms Yb has been achieved using the method of electric-field ionization from the high-lying Rydberg states. Atoms of Yb in a beam were excited in three steps to a 17-p state by radiation of three pulsed dye lasers. The statistics of an atom's appearance in the interaction volume have been studied in the single-ion-counting regime at low beam density.

Studies on natuval radiative lifetime in perterbed Rydberg odd parity sequences of Yb I

Peng Weixian

Laser-atomic-beam and time resolved laser spectroscopy have been used to measure natural radiative lifetimes of 23 levels in perterbed Rydberg odd parity sequences of Yb with three-step excitation. The influence of several effects on measured lifetime values has been analyzed.

In the study of Yb atomic Rydberg states, new members of 6sns 1 S 0 series for n=23, 24, 66-116 and 6snd 1 D 2 series for n=81-114 were observed. The data are in excellent agreement with the MQDT analysing results. The autoionizing Rydberg series 6p 1 2 /n's ( 1/2 , 1/2 ) 1 0 were investigated by three-step laser excitation. The ICE model was used to explain the experimental spectrum, and it has been proved to be suitable for describing the excitation of the autoionizing Rydberg states with a weakly-excited core.In the study of Yb atomic Rydberg states, new members of 6sns 1 S 0 series for n=23, 24, 66-116 and 6snd 1 D 2 series for n=81-114 were observed.

Using three-step laser excitation in an atomic beam and a time-resolved spectroscopy technique, we measured both the lifetimes of the Rydberg levels of Yb i belonging to the perturbed series 6nsp $^{3}$ ${\mathit{P}}_{2}$ and the lifetimes of the perturbing 4${\mathit{f}}^{13} $5$ {\mathit{d}}^{2}$6s $^{3}$ ${\mathit{P}}_{2}$ ${,}^{1}$ ${\mathit{D}}_{2}$ levels. An expected shortening has been observed for the lifetimes of those levels which are strongly mixed with the perturbers.Using three-step laser excitation in an atomic beam and a time-resolved spectroscopy technique, we measured both the lifetimes of the Rydberg levels of Yb i belonging to the perturbed series 6nsp $^{3}$${\mathit{P}}_{2}$ and the lifetimes of the perturbing 4${\mathit{f}}^{13}$5${\mathit{d}}^{2}$6s $^{3}$${\mathit{P}}_{2}$${,}^{1}$${\mathit{D}}_{2}$ levels.
