Level-crossing investigation of electric-field anticrossings of He I

Abstract: The level-crossing technique is a valuable tool for precise measurements of energy separations at electric-field anticrossings. To exemplify this possibility, we measured the energy separations of electric-field singlet - triplet anticrossings of the 1s5d and 1s5f configuration of He I. The level-crossing measurements on the 1s5d anticrossings are more accurate than previous radiofrequency experiments by about an order of magnitude. The experimental results agree with calculated values.

“…The frequency separations ν X of the 1s5d, f 1 × 3 and 1 × 3 anticrossings were measured earlier using level-crossing techniques [11]. The results are also shown in table 1 and are in good agreement with the rf measurements.…”

“…In the case of the 1 × 3 anticrossing (C ) of the 1s5f configuration the width F X is extremely small and, therefore, an adiabatic passage into the centre-field region could not be realized. However, ν X (1s5f 1 × 3 ) was measured earlier using level-crossing techniques [11]. Finally, the frequency separation of the 1s4d 1 × 3 anticrossing (B) was not measured, because it was outside the frequency range of the available synthesizer.…”

“…Besides zero-field energy separations, also the splitting of levels in external electric or magnetic fields is of interest for a detailed analysis of this fundamental quantum object. Most attractive for high-precision measurements are energy separations at anticrossings [5,6] where the separation of a pair of sublevels has a minimum and, therefore, is independent of the electric-field strength in first order. Considering the electric-field splitting of He I-1snl levels, there are anticrossings of singlet and triplet states of the 1snl configurations with l 2 at electric fields F 100 kV cm −1 [7].…”
