研究目的
Investigating the resonant transfer of energy from the inversion sublevels in NH3 to He atoms in triplet Rydberg states with principal quantum number n = 38, controlled using electric fields below 15 V/cm in intrabeam collisions at translational temperatures of ~1 K.
研究成果
Rydberg-state-resolved and electric-field-controlled resonant energy transfer in collisions of ground-state NH3 molecules with Rydberg He atoms at translational temperatures of ~1 K was observed. The work paves the way for experiments at lower collision energies to exploit resonant dipole?dipole interactions for regulating access to short-range chemical dynamics.
研究不足
The impact parameter method used in the calculations does not account for energy-level shifts arising from resonant dipole?dipole interactions at low collision energies, representing a limit to the method's validity. The rotational temperature of NH3 was inferred to be higher than typical for supersonic beams, attributed to collision-induced heating near the valve.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The experiments were performed in pulsed supersonic beams of NH3 seeded in He at a ratio of 1:19. The He atoms were prepared in the metastable 1s2s 3S1 level in a pulsed electric discharge. The velocity slip between NH3 and metastable He was exploited for collision studies at center-of-mass collision speeds of ~70 m/s. Resonant energy transfer was identified by Rydberg-state-selective electric-field ionization.
