Nonadiabatic mechanism of the quenching of the alkali atoms Rydberg states in collisions with atoms of the same type

V. M. Borodin, Andrey K. Kazansky

The nonadiabatic mechanism of the quenching of the alkali atoms' Rydberg states in collisions with atoms of the same type, is described. The diabatic energy curves depend on the internuclear distance due to internuclear axis rotation and transitions are produced by the polarisation interaction of the atom with the Rydberg electron. It is shown that the cross sections of the processes may be large enough: sigma approximately 103-104 au and the principal role of classically forbidden nuclear configurations is exposed. The results are shown to be dependent on the type of Rydberg atom.

Comparative studies of ion-pair formation and resonant quenching processes in collisions of Rydberg atoms with the alkaline-earth atoms

Alexander A. Narits, E. S. Mironchuk, Владимир Сергеевич Лебедев

We report the results of comparative studies of ion-pair formation and quenching processes in collisions of Rydberg Li( nl ) and Cs( nl ) atoms with Ca(4s 2 ), Sr(5s 2 ) and Ba(6s 2 ) atoms possessing small electron affinities. Our consideration includes both the cases of selectively excited Rydberg nl -states with small orbital angular momentum ( l ≪ n ) and nearly circular states with l ∼ n − 1. Calculations of the electron-transfer processes are based on the semiclassical theory of nonadiabatic transitions and exact expression for the Rydberg-covalent–ionic coupling terms. Calculations of nonresonant quenching processes are carried out within the framework of the available theory of inelastic and quasielastic transitions between Rydberg-covalent states. The ion-pair formation and resonant quenching cross sections are shown to be significantly dependent not only on the principal quantum number n but also on the orbital angular momentum l and the binding energy of the alkaline-earth anion. For each system under study we find the regions of n in which either the resonant quenching or the ion-pair formation processes are predominant. The relative role of the resonant and nonresonant mechanisms of depopulation of Rydberg states is investigated.
