Rf Resonance of Ionic-ground-state Atoms Observed Through Collision-induced Coupling With Metastable-3tate Neutral Atoms
Year: 1967
Type: article
Abstract: The radiofreq'uency paragm.agnetic-re sonance m.ethod was used to observe the exchange collisions between th-e Xe ionic ground state 2P3/2 and the neutral metastable state 3 P2o The ionic ground-state and m.etastable-state atom.s are both form.edand aligned by unidirectional low-energy high-flux electron-beam.im.pact.The m.agnetic resonance of the ionic ground-state atom.s was observed by m.onitoring changes in the transparency of the resonance radiation absorbed by the m.etastable-state atom.s.The experim.ent is described in detail; along with a possible process for observing this resonance.Phenom.enologicaltheories are presented which m.ay explain the sign of the m.agnetic resonance signal of the ionic ground state com.pared with the m.etastable m.agnetic resonance.
