The experiments reported here show that the
dipole-dipole interaction, the fundamental interaction between the
cold Rydberg atoms, is the dominant initial ionization mechanism for
evolution from a frozen Rydberg gas into a plasma. The study also
indicates that plasma formation follows a path of initial
ionization, redistribution of Rydberg population to higher angular
momentum states, and rapid avalanche ionization due to
electron-Rydberg collisions. 相似文献

We investigate the quantum localization of the one-dimensional Rydberg atom subject to a unidirectional periodic train of impulses. For high frequencies of the train the classical system becomes chaotic and leads to fast ionization. By contrast, the quantum system is found to be remarkably stable. We find this quantum localization to be directly related to the existence of "scars" of the unstable periodic orbits of the system. The localization length is given by the energy excursion along the periodic orbits. 相似文献

The field ionization process of the Eu 4f76 snp Rydberg states, converging to the first ionization limit, 4f76s9S4, is systematically investigated. The spectra of the Eu 4f76 snp Rydberg states are populated with three-step laser excitation, and detected by electric field ionization(EFI) method. Two different kinds of the EFI pulses are applied after laser excitation to observe the possible impacts on the EFI process. The exact EFI ionization thresholds for the 4f76 snp Rydberg states can be determined by observing the corresponding EFI spectra. In particular, some structures above the EFI threshold are found in the EFI spectra, which may be interpreted as the effect from black body radiation(BBR). Finally, the scaling law of the EFI threshold for the Eu 4f76 snp Rydberg states with the effective quantum number is built. 相似文献

The process of resonant multiphoton ionization of a hydrogen atom in the ground 1s state is studied by direct numerical integration of the nonstationary Schrödinger equation for a quantum system in an electromagnetic field. The dependence of photoionization probability on the radiation intensity is found to be nonmonotonic. It is established that the minima of ionization correspond to multiphoton resonances between the ground state and one of the excited (Rydberg) atomic states perturbed by the laser field. It is shown that ionization is suppressed due to rearrangement of Rydberg states in a strong electromagnetic field and is accompanied by efficient Raman Λ transitions, which connect a set of closely lying Rydberg states via the continuum. 相似文献

The diffusion model of ionization of Rydberg atoms in single collisions is formulated. The solution of kinetic equations describing nonstationary diffusion processes is discussed. Methods of analytical calculation of the effective times for the development of ionization in phase regions with moving boundaries are presented. An analytical method, going back to Weisskopf, for determining the corresponding cross sections for impact ionization in the adiabatic approximation is described. A numerical scheme for solving problems of stochastic movement of a Rydberg electron inside a Coulomb condensation of levels under conditions of time-variable ionization boundaries and region of development of stochastic instability is developed. 相似文献

A NEW EXPERIMENTAL METHOD IN THE STUDY OF IONIC RYDBERG STATES BY RESONANCE IONIZATION MASS SPECTROSCOPY 下载免费PDF全文
We report a new method for detecting highly excited ions. With a strong constant electric field ionization following the extracting of ions by a pulsed electric field in a time-of-flight mass spectrometer, the direct multi-photon ionization background can be eliminated in laser multi-step resonance ionization mass spectroscopy of ionic Rydberg states. A high detection efficiency call be obtained for law members of ionic Rydberg states by use of this method. We have applied the method in the study of the spectroscopy of ionic Rydberg states ia ytterbium. 相似文献

Ionization of atoms by the spatial gradient of the pondermotive potential in a focused laser beam is investigated. Rydberg ions, formed during the interaction of noble gas atoms with an intense laser pulse, are used to probe the gradient field. Rydberg ion species with higher ionization potentials are produced at locations where the gradient field is largest. The measured Rydberg ion yields differ dramatically from estimates that ignore gradient-field ionization, but are in good agreement with predictions that include the effect. 相似文献

The lifetime of a molecule consisting of two Rydberg atoms with respect to electron release is determined from computer simulation
of two classical electrons in the field of Coulomb centers. From this, the cross section of the Penning process of collision
of two Rydberg atoms with electron release is obtained. The rate constant for ionization of Rydberg atoms is evaluated for
the Rydberg plasma within the Thomson model. On the basis of these processes, the kinetics is analyzed for the decay of a
Rydberg plasma. Comparison with experimental data shows that these decay processes are responsible for the first stage of
the decay of a magnetized and nonmagnetized Rydberg plasma located in a magnetic superconducting trap, whereas other processes
become important at a subsequent stage of the plasma evolution.

We study the quantum properties of Rydberg atoms in a magnetic Ioffe-Pritchard trap which is superimposed by a homogeneous electric field. Trapped Rydberg atoms can be created in long-lived electronic states exhibiting a permanent electric dipole moment of several hundred Debye. The resulting dipole-dipole interaction in conjunction with the radial confinement is demonstrated to give rise to an effectively one-dimensional ultracold Rydberg gas with a macroscopic interparticle distance. We derive analytical expressions for the electric dipole moment and the required linear density of Rydberg atoms. 相似文献

The dynamics of hydrogen atom in the presence of a strong radiation field of the titanium-sapphire laser is studied for the Keldysh parameters γ ≥ 1 and γ ≤ 1. It is demonstrated that the ionization is supplemented with the effective population of the excited states with the principal quantum numbers n = 5–10 in the entire range of variation in the Keldysh parameter. The population of the excited Rydberg states can be interpreted as a consequence of the multiphoton resonance involving the initial 1s state and a group of excited states in the vicinity of the continuum boundary with the simultaneous repopulation of these states by Λ-type Raman transitions under the action of the laser field. The resulting coherent Rydberg packet appears to be stable with respect to ionization, so that the ionization of the atomic system in the presence of strong electromagnetic field is suppressed. Physical reasons for the stabilization are discussed. An interpretation of the effective population of the Rydberg states in the recent experiments on the ionization of atomic helium by the titanium-sapphire laser is proposed. 相似文献

Microwave ionization of Rydberg atoms is well described as the onset of classical chaos when the microwave frequency omega is less than the Kepler frequency 1/n(3). However, when omega>1/n(3), i.e., at high scaled frequency Omega=omegan(3)>1, classical ionization is predicted to be suppressed by quantum interference, an analogue to Anderson localization in a solid. Using 17.55 GHz microwave fields we have observed the ionization of Sr Rydberg atoms in the regime 1=Omega=5 . Our measurements demonstrate the quantum suppression of classical diffusive ionization and show the ionization field to be n independent in this regime. 相似文献

Experimental Research of Spontaneous Evolution from Ultracold Rydberg Atoms to Plasma 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1 下载免费PDF全文
The spontaneous evolution from ultracold Rydberg atoms to plasma is investigated in a caesium MOT by using the method of field ionization. The plasma transferred from atoms in different Rydberg states (n = 22-32) are obtained experimentally. Dependence of the threshold time of evolving to plasma and the threshold number of initial Rydberg atoms on the principal quantum number of initial Rydberg states is studied. The experimental results are in agreement with hot-cold Rydberg-Rydberg atom collision ionization theory. 相似文献

We present time-resolved spectroscopic measurements of Rydberg-Rydberg interactions between two Rydberg atoms in an ultracold gas, revealing the pair dynamics induced by long-range van der Waals interactions between the atoms. By detuning the excitation laser, a specific pair distribution is prepared. Penning ionization on a microsecond time scale serves as a probe for the pair dynamics under the influence of the attractive long-range forces. Comparison with a Monte Carlo model not only explains all spectroscopic features but also gives quantitative information about the interaction potentials. The results imply that the interaction-induced ionization rate can be influenced by the excitation laser. Surprisingly, interaction-induced ionization is also observed for Rydberg states with purely repulsive interactions. 相似文献
