Dipole transition strengths in Ba+from Rydberg fine-structure measurements in Ba and Ba+

Abstract: The fine structure of high-L n = 19 and 20 Rydberg states of Ba + has been measured precisely using the resonant excitation Stark ionization spectroscopy technique, allowing for a determination of the Ba 2+ polarizability: α D (Ba 2+ ) = 10.75(10) a.u. This result, in combination with an improved model of the K splittings in Ba Rydberg levels, allows for a more precise determination of the Ba + dipole transition strengths connecting the 6 2 S 1/2 ground state to the 6 2 P 1/2 and 6 2 P 3/2 excited states.

“…Some years later, stimulated by related, but much smaller, anomalies in the structure of high-L Rydberg levels of Si 2+ , these vector splittings were explained as an indirect effect of the spin-orbit splittings in excited 2 P levels of Ba + [25]. These indirect spin-orbit splittings, or K-splittings as they were also called, were later exploited to extract precise measurements of dipole and quadrupole transition strengths in Ba + [26][27][28]. In the meantime, an apparently different type of vector splitting was predicted by Zygelman [15] using a Berry phase argument.…”

“…The terms proportional to r −4 and r −6 agree with the results of Clark, Greene, and Miecznik [12] except that their expression for the coefficient analogous to β D,0 contains an additional contribution [the second term in their Eq. (28)]. …”

“…Experimental values for Ba +2 in the same atomic units are close to the full potential value, in the range of 10.1-10.75. 3,29,110 FIG The variation of moments and polarizabilities with origin and with atomic polarizability values is shown in Table V. The results calculated for the potential of Equation 28are labeled AJR because it matches the ex-core part of the AJR potential and the AJR atomic polarizabilities were used.…”

“…[23][24][25] The reference point for very high accuracy analysis to atoms has been the work by Drachman [26][27][28] which has led to impressive results including relativistic and QED effects. 29,30 Limiting behavior in the Rydberg inverse Born-Oppenheimer region has been considered by Zon's group in several publications, including Elfimov et al 31 for the long-range dipole potential of polar molecules, and Dorofeev et al, 32 but these treatments omit the full complexity of interactions with a rotating core. 33 Frequency dependent polarizability is important at frequencies approaching electronic transitions.…”

“…Being a monovalent atom, it is also amenable to precise theoretical predictions of atomic properties [6,7], making it a testbed for theoretical and experimental techniques. This has lead to high accuracy measurement of a variety of atomic properties including Landè g-factors [8][9][10][11], matrix elements [12,13], branching ratios from the P 1/2 and P 3/2 levels [14][15][16], lifetime measurements of the lower lying metastable D-states [17,18], fine-structure splittings [19] and hyperfine structure of odd isotopes [20,21].…”
