Abstract
We have determined the first ionization potentials of tungsten and rhe nium atoms to be 63427.7 +/- 0.8 cm(-1) (7.86404 +/- 0.00010 eV) (2 si gma error bound) and 63181.6 +/- 0.9 cm(-1) (7.83352 +/- 0.00011 eV), respectively, by fitting ns and nd Rydberg series obtained by performi ng mass-selected double-resonance ionization spectroscopy on supersoni c beams of laser-vaporized tungsten and rhenium atoms.
