Observation of spin-orbit-dependent electron scattering using long-range Rydberg molecules

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: The authors observe spin-orbit interaction in electron-neutral scattering, which has been elusive so far. This result is obtained by using ultralong-range Rydberg molecules as a micro laboratory for low-energy scattering experiments. The spin-orbit interaction gives rise to a fine structure multiplet in the molecular term spectrum which is resolved via photoassociation spectroscopy.
