Spectroscopic properties of Ba 6pjnk autoionizing Stark series

With a combination of the isolated core excitation (ICE) technique and a proper polarization configuration of three lasers, both the 6p_1/2nk and 6p_3/2nk autoionizing Stark states excited from the 6snk Stark states with have been measured for the first time. The experimental results are analyzed by fitting them to the Lorentzian profiles, from which the positions and widths are determined at various electric-field strengths. The experimental results indicate that the 6p_1/2nk and 6p_3/2nk autoionizing Stark states have different spectroscopic properties due to the difference of their cores.

High precision quantum control of single donor spins in silicon

The Stark shift of the hyperfine coupling constant is investigated for a P donor in Si far below the ionization regime in the presence of interfaces using tight-binding and band minima basis approaches and compared to the recent precision measurements. In contrast with previous effective mass-based results, the quadratic Stark coefficient obtained from both theories agrees closely with the experiments. It is also shown that there is a significant linear Stark effect for an impurity near the interface, whereas, far from the interface, the quadratic Stark effect dominates. This work represents the most sensitive and precise comparison between theory and experiment for single donor spin control. Such precise control of single donor spin states is required particularly in quantum computing applications of single donor electronics, which forms the driving motivation of this work.     

Experimental study of Stark broadened N II lines from states of high orbital angular momentum

In this paper, we report experimental electron impact widths for six spectral lines belonging to 3d-4f transitions of singly ionized nitrogen. Line profiles were measured in a low pressure pulsed arc. An electron density in the range 5.9–7.5 × 10²²m^-3 was determined from the Stark width of the He II 4686 Å line, while electron temperatures of 28,300–32,300 K were measured using relative intensities of O II impurity lines. Comparison with semiempirical theoretical results does not resolve which coupling scheme, LS or LK, is better to describe atomic states in Stark broadening calculations of certain N II lines.     

Stark Broadening Regularities within Successive Ionization Stages in Krypton and Xenon

On the basis of existing experimental and theoretical results on Stark widths of neutral and multiply ionized states of krypton and xenon, we have indicated existence of certain regularities of Stark broadening for ns-np types of transitions. These regularities were used to estimate the Stark widths of spectral lines from KrIV and XeI spectra that have not yet been measured or calculated.     

Calculated Stark widths of isolated S(III) and S(IV) lines

Calculations have been performed on the electron-impact broadening of isolated lines from doubly-ionized and triply-ionized sulphur emitted from a plasma of electron density 10¹⁷ cm^-3 and temperature 28,500°K. These have been compared with results of measurements performed by Plati?a, Popovi?, Dimitrijevi?, and Konjevi? on a low-pressure, pulsed arc. Good overall agreement has been obtained for both ionization stages, in confirmation of our earlier conclusions based on a similar comparison for oxygen ion lines. The present calculations have been compared with calculations based upon two simplified models of Griem and the classical-path approximation of Sahal-Bréchot. Our calculated widths are in better agreement with experiment than with values obtained from the first two models; for the two multiplets, where comparison is possible, good agreement is found with the widths obtained by Sahal-Bréchot. We conclude that the present model, whereby the effective Gaunt factor is calculated, is capable of predicting reliable values for the Stark widths of isolated ion lines. Comparison with experiment [for S(III) indicates that, provided a sufficiently complete set of perturbing levels is used in the calculations, the present formula for ? may also be used for below-threshold energies in the determination of the elastic contribution to the broadening. For S(IV), an ambiguity remains in this regard, owing chiefly to a scarcity of available experimental data.     

Glueballs as bound states of massive gluons

Recent work in both lattice and continuum QCD shows that the gauge field is massive. We investigate the bound states of massive gluons with a Schrödinger equation and find M(0⁺⁺) ≈ 2.3 m, M(0⁻⁺) ≈ 2.7 m, M(2⁺⁺) ≈ 3.2 m, where m is the gluon mass; we expect from this as well as earlier work that m ≈ 500 MeV. These glueballs have widths typical of allowed hadronic decays.     

Interaction of Wannier–Stark levels in a wide well superlattice

We have investigated the energy spectrum of a superlattice with wide quantum wells under the bias of an electric field perpendicular to the superlattice layers. By using photocurrent spectroscopy, transitions of Wannier–Stark levels for the various electron and hole states are observed, and at low fields, further structures corresponding to miniband edge transitions are found. Various anticrossings could be observed at higher and lower electric fields. The anticrossings at high electric fields are due to energy alignment of different electronic sublevels in adjacent wells. The anticrossing structures at low fields could be interpreted as resonances between intrawell and interwell excitonic Wannier–Stark states with equal sublevel states, where the anticrossing is caused by differences in exciton binding energy. Fitting of transitions and anticrossings was done by using a semi-empirical model and we have extracted relevant fitting parameters like the quantum-confined Stark coefficient, binding energies for the excitonic Wannier–Stark levels and the resonant coupling strength for states involved in the various anticrossing transitions. Finally, insight into the excitonic influences on the coupling of the WS states could be obtained by comparing the fitted parameters for the various transitions.     

Electron impact widths of some Ar(II)-u.v.-multiplets

The electron impact widths of 18 Ar(II)-lines, belonging to six different multiplets, have been measured in a steady state, 1 atm arc experiment. These lines are located in the ultraviolet range of the spectrum (250–330 nm) and are observable only at high temperatures (T17,000 K). For comparison, the respective widths have also been calculated according to a simplified expression for the impact broadening of ion lines. With only one exception, excellent agreement between the experimental and the theoretical results is found. In particular, the calculations explain the experimentally observed variation of widths within a multiplet.     

Observation of resonance trapping in an open microwave cavity

The coupling of a quantum mechanical system to open decay channels has been theoretically studied in numerous works, mainly in the context of nuclear physics but also in atomic, molecular, and mesoscopic physics. Theory predicts that with increasing coupling strength to the channels the resonance widths of all states should first increase but finally decrease again for most of the states. In this Letter, the first direct experimental verification of this effect, known as resonance trapping, is presented. In the experiment a microwave Sinai cavity with an attached waveguide with variable slit width was used.     

Spontaneous atomic line shapes from an argon ion laser discharge

Spontaneously emitted atomic line shapes from an argon ion laser discharge have been measured with a plane parallel Fabry-Perot interferometer. The interferometer and its associated data reduction programs were carefully characterized so that Lorentzian widths on the order of 0.004 of the interferometer free spectral range could be measured. The observed line shapes were analyzed in terms of thermal Doppler broadening, Stark broadening by electrons and natural broadening. Electron densities calculated from the Stark broadening were discrepant by factors of 5–10. An alternative line-shape model, which includes a non-thermal velocity distribution function, is proposed.     

Stark broadening measurements of some N(II) and N(III) lines

The Stark widths of seventeen N(II) and ten N(III) spectral lines, emitted from a wall-stabilized arc plasma with electron densities in the range 0.9-2.9 × 10¹⁷ cm^-3, were measured. The arc was run with a 1:1N₂:He mixture, and the electron densities were determined from the Stark widths of He(I) 5876 and 6678 A. The Stark widths of the N lines were found to scale approximately linearly with electron density.

Quantum crystallites and nonlinear optics

This is a review and analysis of the optical properties of quantum crystallites, with principal emphasis on the electro-optic Stark effect and all optical third order nonlinearity. There are also introductory discussions on physical size regimes, crystallite synthesis, quantum confinement theory, and linear optical properties. The experiments describe CdSe crystallites, exhibiting strong confinement of electrons and holes, and CuCl crystallites, exhibiting weak confinement of the exciton center of mass. In the CdSe system, neither the Stark effect nor the third order nonlinearity is well understood. The Stark shifts appear to be smaller than calculated, and field inducted broadening also occurs. The third order nonlinearity is only modestly stronger than in bulk material, despite theoretical prediction. Unexpectedly large homogeneous widths, due to surface carrier trapping, in the nominally discrete crystallite excited states appear to be involved. The CuCl system shows far narrower spectroscopic homogeneous widths, and corresponds more closely to an ideal quantum dot in the weak confinement limit. CuCl also exhibits exciton superradiance at low temperature. Surface chemistry and crystallite encapsulation are critical in achieving the predicted large Stark and third order optical effects in II-VI and III-V crystallites.     

THE POTENTIAL MODEL INVESTIGATION OF STARK EFFECT IN CAESIUM RYDBERG STATE ATOMS AND COMPARISON WITH EXPERIMENT

The potential model method for computation of Stark structure of Cs Rydberg states atoms and oscillator strength is described, for external electric fields varying from 0 to 600V/cm. Anticrossing, l-mixing and n-mixing phenomena are observed clearly from the map of Stark. Corresponding experiment is performed under the same condition, and the two results are in good agreement with each other within the experimental uncertainty.     

Validity of formulae for nuclear widths used in pion cascade codes

Cascade codes used for pionic X-ray calculations use formulae for nuclear absorption widths derived from perturbation theory using hydrogenic wavefunctions. Comparison with exact calculations shows that these formulae are very accurate for orbitals with l 2 but large errors can arise for l = 0, 1. An improved formula for s and p states is derived.

Stark broadening and shift of some isolated spectral lines of singly ionised earth alkaline metals

Using aZ pinch discharge as a plasma source the profiles and shifts of some prominent ion lines of earth alkaline metals were measured and compared with Stark broadening theories and other experimental results. An electron density of 3.1 to 10.3×10¹⁶ cm^?3 was determined by the laser interferometry, while the electron temperature in the range 25100 to 34800 °K were measured from relative intensities of spectral lines. Comparison of reported experimental shifts and widths with the theories both semi-classical and quantum mechanical shows good agreement. It was also found that Griem's semi-empirical formula is useful and accurate for line widths evaluation.     

Non-threshold (F, Dp) bound states

In the previous paper [hep-th/9904112], we argued that there exist BPS bound states of Dp branes carrying certain units of quantized constant electric field for every p (with 1 p 8). Each of these bound states preserves one half of the spacetime supersymmetries. In this paper, we construct these bound state configurations explicitly for 2 p 7 from Schwarz's (m, n)-string or (F, D1) bound state in type IIB string theory by T-dualities along the transverse directions. We calculate the charge per of (p − 1)-dimensional area for F-strings in (F,Dp) and the tension for each of these bound states. The results agree precisely with those obtained previously from the worldvolume study. We study the decoupling limit for the (F, D3) bound state and find that Maldacena's AdS₅/CFT₄ correspondence may hold true even with respect to this bound state but now with an effective string coupling rather than the usual string coupling. This coupling is quantized and can be independent of the usual string coupling in a certain limit.
