Messung der Lebensdauer von Elektronen im 3P- und 4D-Zustand des Natrium

Lifetimes of electrons in the 3P- and 4D-levels of sodium are measured. The sodium-atoms are excited by short pulses of electrons with energies between 2 and 8 eV. The time dependence of the emitted light is determined by direct oscillographing via photomultiplier as well as by counting single quantas. The counting technique corresponds to the delayed coincidence method and employs a sampling oscilloscope. Lifetimes of the 3P- and 4D-levels were found to be 14.0 and 52.1 nsec respectively. From these values the absorption oscillator strengths 1.11 and 0.095 were calculated for the 3S-3P- and 3P-4D-transitions.     

Der Einfluß eines elektrischen Feldes auf Level-Crossings des 6d 2 D 3/2-Zustands im TlI-Spektrum

The influence of an electric field on the energy levels of the 6d²D_3/2-state in the Tl I-spectrum was studied by measuring the shifts of level crossing signals relative to their magnetic field positions. The following values of the magnetic hyperfine constantA and the Stark parameterβ were deduced: ¦A¦=42(2) Mc/sec · g_J/0.8, ¦β¦=0.12(1) Mc/sec/(kV/cm)² · g_J/0.8 and A/β>0. Assuming that the main part of the energy shifts are caused by admixtures of the 7p²P-states the sign of the Stark parameterβ and —from the measured ratio A/β>0 —the sign of theA-factor should be negative. For electric field strength E?30 kV/cm the energy shifts of the 6d²D_3/2state are considerably greater than the hyperfine structure splitting. Therefore the case of decoupled hyperfine structure is considered.
