Abstract

The collisional energy transfer process Cs(6P(3/2)) + M, where M = Ne, N2, under gas cell conditions has been investigated. The Cs(6P(3/2)) state was excited by a diode laser. The direct 6P(3/2) --> 6S(1/2) fluorescence and the sensitized 6P(1/-2) --> 6S(1/2) fluorescence as a function of quenching gas pressure were measured. For quenching by Ne only energy transfer from the electronic to translational is possible. However, in the N2 case, energy transfer from the electronic to vibrational or rotational is important. Using a two-state rate equation model, the quenching rate coefficients for Cs(6P(3/2)) were obtained. The fine structure energy transfer rate coefficient for Ne is 1.45 x 10(-12) cm3 x s(-1). By comparing the relative fluorescence intensities for Ne and N2 case, the authors estimate that the rate coefficient for 6P(3/2) --> 6P(1/2) transfer in collision with N2 is 1.64 x 10(-2) cm3 x s(-1). The quenching rate coefficient for the 6P state is 4. 88 x 10(-12) cm3 x s(-1).

The collisional energy transfer process Rb(5PJ)+M, where M= He, N2, under gas cell conditions has been investigated. The Rb(5P3/2) state was excited by a diode laser. The direct 5P3/2-->5S1/2 fluorescence and the sensitized 5P1/2-->5S1/2 fluorescence as a function of quenching gas pressure were measured. The 5P3/2 and 5P1/2 states are separated by 238 cm(-1). The closest other states are >6500 cm(-1) or >28 KT. Neglect of these other states should be an excellent approximation. In the experiment the Rb density was 4.5 x 10(11) cm(-3). Using radiation trapping theory the effective radiative rate=Gammae5P3/2-->5S1/2 2.47 x 10(7) s(-1) was obtained. For quenching by He only electronic to translational energy transfer is possible. However, in the N2 case, electronic to vibrational or rotational transfer is important. The Rb(5P3/2) state is 13 cm(-1) lower than the N2[X'Sigmag+ (V= 5, J= 11)]state; this energy gap is near resonant. The authors have not attempted to directly observe this possible E-R quenching channel Using a two-state rate equation model the transfer rate coefficients from Rb(5PJ) were obtained. The rate coefficient (k21He) for 5P3/2-->5P1/2 transfer in collision with He is 2.61 x 10(-12) cm3 x s(-1). By comparing the direct and sensitized fluorescence intensities for He and N2 case, and fitting the experimental results to the rate equation analysis, the authors estimate that the rate coefficient (k21N2) for 5P3/2-5P1/2 transfer in collision with N2 is 2.36 x 10(-11) cm3 x s(-1). The E-V quenching rate coefficient (kN2) of the 5PJ state is 1.44 x 10(-10) cm3 x s(-1). The authors found find that the rate coefficient kN2 is about 6 times larger than the k21N2. The assumption that the Cs-N2 energy transfer occurs primarily in collinear collision geometry is supported. The results are discussed in relation to those of other experiments.

The collisional energy transfer in Rb(5P_J)+M collisions,where M=Ne,N_2 under gas cell conditions was investigated.For collision with Ne only electronic to translational energy transfer is possible.However,in the N_2 case,electronics to vibrational or rotational transfer is important.The Rb(5P_(3/2))state is excited by a tunable CW diode laser,where the laser is tuned slightly off resonance.The ratio of 5P_(1/2)→5S_(1/2)to the 5P_(3/2)→5S_(1/2) fluorescence as a function of quenching gas pressure was measured.Using a two-state rate equation model the transfer rate coefficients from the Rb(5P_J)state was obtained.The rate coefficient for 5P_(3/2)→5P_(1/2) transfer in collision with Ne is 1.53×10~(-12)cm~3s~(-1).Using the ratio of the 5P_(1/2) to 5P_(3/2) fluorescence for Ne and N_2 case,and fitting the experimental results to the rate equation analysis,we estimate that the rate coefficient for 5P_(3/2)→5P_(1/2) transfer in collision with N_2 is 8.83×10~(-11) cm~3s~(-1).The quenching rate coefficient of the 5P_J state is 1.25×10~(-10) cm~3s~(-1).A qualitative explanation for the results was given.

The collisional energy transfer process Rb (5P(subscript J)) + M, where M = Ne, N2 under gas cell conditions has been investigated. The Rb (5P(subscript 3/2)) state was excited by a diode laser. The direct 5P(subscript 3/2)→5S(subscript 1/2) fluorescence and the sensitized 5P(subscript 1/2)→5S(subscript 1/2), fluorescence as a function of quenching gas pressure had been measured. For collision with Ne where only electronic to translational energy transfer is possible. However, in the N2 case, electronics to vibrational or rotational transfer is important. Using a two-state rate equation model the transfer rate coefficients from Rb(5P(subscript J)) had been obtained. The rate coefficient for 5P(subscript 3/2)→5P(subscript 1/2) transfer in collision with Ne is 1.53×10^(-12)cm^3s^(-1). By comparing the relative fluorescence intensities for Ne and N2 case, and fitting the experimental results to the rate equation analysis, we estimate that the rate coefficient for 5P(subscript 3/2)→5P(subscript 1/2) transfer in collision with N2 is 1.05×10^(-10)cm^3s^(-1). The quenching rate coefficient out of the 5P(subscript J) state is 1.12×10^(-10)cm^3s^(-1). The results are discussed in relation to those of other experiments.
