The hyperfine stark shifts of ground states of 87, 85 Rb are calculated by using relativistic configuration interaction plus core polarization (RCICP) approach, which agree with other theoretical and experimental results very well. The hyperfine Stark shift of 87 Rb is larger than that of 85 Rb.
The static and dynamic polarizabilities and the tune-out wavelengths of the ground state of Rb and the hyperfine ground states of 87,85Rb have been calculated by using the relativistic configuration interaction plus core polarization (RCICP) approach. It is found that the first primary tune-out wavelengths of the 5s1/2,F=1,2 states of 87Rb are 790.018187(193) and 790.032602(193) nm, respectively, where the calculated result for the 5s1/2,F=2 state is in good agreement with the latest high-precision measurement 790.032388(32) nm [R. H. Leonard et al., Phys. Rev. A 92, 052501 (2015)]. Similarly, the first primary tune-out wavelengths of the 5s1/2,F=2,3 states of 85Rb are 790.023515(218) and 790.029918(218) nm, respectively. Furthermore, the tune-out wavelengths for the different magnetic sublevels MF of each hyperfine level F are also determined by considering the contributions of tensor polarizabilities.
A general method is presented for calculating the higher-order terms of series in powers of the black-body radiation field for the Stark-state wavefunctions, dipole transition matrix elements and corresponding frequency shifts of hyperfine splitting in the ground states for Cs and Rb atoms. A numerical method for calculating the light shifts in Sr atoms is described. It is based on the Green function method for summation over all intermediate states and exact Dirac–Fock wavefunctions for the resonant transitions to the first excited s-, p- and d-states. By comparing the calculated Stark shift with results of measurements employing atomic frequency standards, the black-body radiation effects on the ground state are analysed.
The influence of hyperfine interactions on the tune-out wavelengths of the 39K, 40K, and 41K isotopes of the potassium atom was investigated. The hyperfine interaction of the 4s1/2 ground state results in a shift and splitting of the primary tune-out wavelength near 769 nm. The 4s1/2 state hyperfine splittings of the primary tune-out wavelength were almost equal to the hyperfine splittings of the ground states. The splittings in the wavelengths were 0.0009, 0.0026, and 0.0005 nm for 39K, 40K, and 41K, respectively. The hyperfine splitting of the npJ levels leads to the creation of additional tune-out wavelengths. The additional tune-out wavelengths could be difficult to detect due to very small differences from the transition wavelengths to the 4pJ,F states. The hyperfine Stark shift for the ground states of all three isotopes was also computed, and the value for 39K was found to be compatible with the previous experiments and the most recent calculation using relativistic many-body perturbation theory.
Highly excitedPandDstates in87Rb were examined using a two-step excitation procedure. A conventional rf lamp and a CW dye laser were used for the first and second step, respectively. The following results for the magnetic dipole interaction constanta, the electric quadrupole interaction constantb, the LandégJfactor, and the tensor polarizability α2were obtained in level-crossing and optical-double-resonance experiments: 92P3/2:a= 4.05(3) MHz,b=0.55(3) MHz,gJ= 1.3335(15) 102P3/2:a= 2.60(8) MHz,gJ= 1.3332(20) 82D3/2:a= 2.840(15) MHz,b= 0.17(2) MHz 82D5/2:a= -1.20(15) MHz,gJ= 1.1998(15) 92D3/2:a= 1.900(10) MHz,b= 0.11(3) MHz 92D5/2:a= (-)0.80(15) MHz,gJ= 1.1995(15), α2= 180.3(9.0) MHz/(kV/cm)2 Many-body calculations of the hyperfine structure of Rb have been performed. The polarization effect is included to all orders, whereas the correlation effect is omitted. The negativeafactors for the2D5/2states, indicating large perturbations, are explained by the polarization contribution. A review of experimental hyperfine interaction constants, LandégJfactors and tensor polarizabilities for rubidium is given together with theoretical values of theafactors. The quadrupole moment for87Rb is obtained from thebfactors for the2P3/2and2D3/2states, using quadrupole parameters from the many-body calculations. The correlation effect is included in a semi-empirical way.
We report on a precision measurement of the D line tune-out wavelength of 87Rb in the hyperfine ground state $\left|F=1,{m}_{F}=0,\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}1\right\ensuremath{\rangle}$ manifold at 790nm, where the scalar ac Stark shifts of the D1 and the D2 lines cancel. This wavelength is sensitive to usually neglected contributions from vector and tensor ac Stark shifts, transitions to higher principle quantum numbers, and core electrons. The ac Stark shift is probed by Kapitza-Dirac scattering of a rubidium Bose-Einstein condensate in a one-dimensional optical lattice in free space and controlled magnetic environment. The tune-out wavelength of the magnetically insensitive mF=0 state was determined to 790.01858(23)nm with sub-pm accuracy. An in situ absolute polarization, and magnetic background field measurement is performed by employing the ac vector Stark shift for the ${m}_{F}=\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}1$ states. Comparing our findings to theory, we get quantitative insight into atomic physics beyond commonly used two-level atom approximations or the neglect of inner shell contributions.
