Photodesorption of rubidium atoms from a sapphire surface

P. A. Petrov, Anatoly S. Pazgalev, М. А. Буркова +1 more

Photodesorption of rubidium atoms from crystalline sapphire surface is experimentally studied using the time-of-flight method and the total internal reflection effect. The adsorption energy of rubidium atoms on sapphire is determined to be ~0.7 eV. The dependence of the kinetic energy of desorbed rubidium atoms on the desorbing photon energy in the sapphire transparency range and in the absorption band of rubidium adatoms is determined. It is found that the average kinetic energy of outgoing atoms decreases at desorbing photon energies exceeding 2.3 eV. A model is proposed that relates the decrease in the kinetic energy of desorbed atoms to the appearance of a new channel of desorption of atoms in an excited electronic state.

Light-induced spin-polarized desorption of Rb atoms from Co surfaces

K. Asakawa, Naoki Tanabe, Oki Watanabe +4 more

We investigated the spin polarization of Rb atoms undergoing light-induced desorption from a spin-polarized Co (110) surface. Desorption of Rb atoms was induced via pulsed UV irradiation of the Rb-adsorbed Co surface. The number of desorbed atoms, their velocity distribution, and their spin polarization were measured via the absorption of circularly polarized light resonant with the desorbed Rb atoms. The results were analyzed in conjunction with density functional theory calculations, indicating that the desorbed Rb atoms were spin polarized. This was explained by a nonthermal desorption mechanism accompanying spin-polarized electron transfer between the Co surface and adsorbed Rb.

Optical stabilization of Rb vapor density above thermal equilibrium

A. Burchianti, Andrea Bogi, C. Marinelli +2 more

We stabilize the Rb vapor density above its thermal equilibrium value in sealed glass cells, which are generally used in atomic physics experiments. The method relies on light-induced desorption of Rb atoms from dielectric surfaces. The process does not demand high light intensities so that LEDs or laser diodes can be used as desorbing sources. The experiments are carried out in Pyrex cells either coated with a polydimethylsiloxane film or containing a porous glass sample. Under illumination both the organic coating and the porous sample release a large amount of Rb atoms into the cell volume. We show that the Rb vapor density can be maintained to a preset value, using a desorbing light intensity controlled by a feedback signal given by the Rb absorption or fluorescence level. Moreover, we find that the stabilization technique does not depend on the microscopic mechanisms underlying photodesorption.
