Collision-Induced Dipole Moments.

Abstract

Experimental studies of collision induced absorption of forbidden transitions have been conducted on Cs(6s sub 1 /2 - 5d sub 5/2), Na (nd sub 3/2 - nf sub 5/2) and Na (nd sub 3/2 - ng sub 7/2), n is greater than or = to 15. Perturbers utilized include heavy rare gases, molecular dipoles, and positive ions. A very strong enhancement of the forbidden Rydberg transitions in Na was observed and attributed to ionic space charge.
