Abstract
Laser-induced fluorescence was used in an investigation of the populat ions of the ground and excited (6s5d D-3(1) and D-3(2)) states of Ba a toms in a plasma formed by laser ablation of Y-Ba-Cu-O target. A noneq uilibrium distribution of the atoms between the states was detected. A t large distances from the target about 4% of the atoms were in an exc ited state.
