Reverse Energy-pooling in Rb-Na Mixture

Abstract

The observation of a heteronuclear reverse energy pooling process [Rb(7D)+Na(3S)→Rb(5P)+Na(3P)] is reported. The dye-laser beam populated the Rb(7D) state by a stepwise excitation process. A double-modulation technique has been used to select the fluorescence contribution at the Na(3P_J)exit channels due only to the above reactions. The ground-state sodium atom density is obtained by measuring the wing absorption coefficient. The measured density and fluorescence intensities have been used to obtain reverse energy-pooling rate coefficients. The contribution to the rate coefficients from other processes is discussed.

The observation of a heteronuclear reverse energy pooling process is reported. The cross sections for the collision processes Rb(7D)+Na(3S)→Rb(5P)+Na(3P) have been measured. In the experiment the rubidium atoms were excited in two steps to the 7D(subscript 3/2) state. A double-modulation technique has been used to select the fluorescence contributions at the Na(3P(subscript j)) exit channels due only to the above reactions. The ground state sodium atom density was measured by the absorption of line from a Na hollow-cathode lamp. The measured density and fluorescence intensities have been used to obtain reverse energy pooling rate coefficients. The contribution to the rate coefficients from other processes is discussed.

Reverse Energy-Pooling Collisions: Cs(9 D )+Na(3 S ) Cs(6 P )+Na(3 P )

Shen Yi-Fan, A Pulati, Kang Dai

We report the observation of a heteronuclear reverse energy pooling process Cs(9 D )+Na(3 S )→Cs(6 P )+Na(3 P ). The state is populated in a stepwise excitation process by a dye-laser beam. A double-modulation technique is used to select the fluorescence contribution at the Na(3 P J ) exit channels only due to the above reaction. The ground-state sodium atom density was obtained by measuring the wing absorption coefficient. The measured density and fluorescence intensities are used to obtain the reverse energy-pooling rate coefficient. The cross section related to the rate coefficient is (4.3±1.4) × 10 −14 cm 2 .

The observation of a heteronuclear reverse energy pooling process is reported. The cross sections for the collision processes Rb(7 D )+Na(3 S )→Rb(5 P )+Na(3 P ) have been measured. In the experiment the rubidium atoms were excited in two steps to the 7 D _ 3/2 state.

The ground state sodium atom density was measured by the absorption of line from a Na hollow-cathode lamp.

Reverse energy pooling in a K-Na mixture

We report experimental rate coefficients for the reverse heteronuclear energy-pooling collisions $\mathrm{K}(5D)+\mathrm{Na}(3S)\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\mathrm{K}(4P)+\mathrm{Na}(3P)$ and $\mathrm{K}(7S)+\mathrm{Na}(3S)\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\mathrm{K}(4P)+\mathrm{Na}(3P)$ at thermal energies. Both reactions are exothermic and very high rates were observed showing that reverse exothermic energy-pooling is an order of magnitude more efficient than the corresponding forward endothermic energy-pooling reactions. This is in accordance with the general behavior of the exothermic and endothermic energy-pooling rate coefficients in alkali-metal atoms. In the experiment the potassium atoms were excited in two steps to either the $5D$ or $7S$ state via the $4P$ level using two broadband cw dye lasers. A double-modulation technique has been used to select the fluorescence contributions at the $\mathrm{Na}{(3P}_{J})$ exit channels due only to the above reactions. The ground-state sodium and potassium atom densities were measured by the absorption of lines from a K-Na hollow-cathode lamp. The measured densities and fluorescence intensities have been used to obtain absolute reverse energy-pooling rate coefficients. The contribution to the rate coefficients from other processes are discussed.

Energy-pooling collisions for K(4P)+Rb(5P) and Na(3P)+Rb(5P) heteronuclear systems

C. Gabbanini, Silvia Gozzini, G. Squadrito +2 more

The rate constants of the energy-pooling collisions in the Na-Rb and K-Rb vapor mixtures, resonantly excited by two cw dye lasers, have been measured relative to a known energy-pooling rate constant of a homonuclear reaction. To isolate the heteronuclear contribution in the fluorescence spectrum, a double-modulation technique has been adopted. The effective lifetimes of the excited levels that explicitly appear in the solution equation have been directly measured by using pulsed lasers. A discussion about the collision cross-section dependence on the energy defect involved in the energy-pooling collisions is reported.

Energy-pooling collisions in Rb-Cs vapor mixture Rb(5P_(J))+Cs(6P_(3/2))-->Rb(5S_(1/2))+Cs(nl_(J'))

Yifan Shen, Kang Dai, Baoxia Mu +2 more

Rate coefficients for energy-pooling (EP) collisions Rb(5P_(J))+Cs(6P_(3/2))-->Rb(5S_(1/2))+Cs(nl_(J')) have been measured. Atoms were excited to Rb(5P_(J)) and Cs(6P_(3/2)) states using two single-mode diode lasers. To isolate the heteronuclear contribution in the fluorescence spectrum, a double-modulation technique has been adopted. The excited-atom density and spatial distribution are mapped by monitoring the absorption of a counterpropagating single-mode diode laser beam, tuned to Rb(5P_(J)-->7S_(1/2)) and Cs(6P_(3/2)-->8S_(1/2)) transitions respectively, which could be translated parallelly to the pump beams. The excited atom densities are combined with the measured fluorescence ratios to determine cross sections for the EP processes. It was found that Rb(5P_(J))+Cs(6P_(3/2)) collisions are more efficient than Rb(5P_(3/2))+Cs(6P_(3/2)) collisions for populating Cs(4F_(5/2)), while the opposite is true for populating Cs(4F_(7/2)).
