The avoided crossings in an electric field of K s and p states with the nearly hydrogenic Stark manifold states have been investigated using 300-K blackbody radiation. Anticrossings between states of the same ) mj~f or which the~mt~values are the same or differ by one are encountered. The anticrossings between states of the same~mI~are quite wide as they are due to core penetration and polarization effects. The anticrossings for which~mt~differs by one are produced by the spin-orbit interaction and are accordingly quite small. %e present results for the ns states for n in the range 18 -29 and for the np states for n in the range 19 -23.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
