Rh. Rinkleff et R. Wehmschulte, STARK-EFFECT IN ODD-PARITY J=1 LEVELS OF NEUTRAL BARIUM, Zeitschrift fur Physik. D, Atoms, molecules and clusters, 39(2), 1997, pp. 139-141
Stark splitting of the barium 6snp P-1(1) states with principal quantu
m numbers ranging from 8 to 15 and of the 5d7p P-1(1) perturber level
was measured in an atomic beam via pulsed laser excitation with time-
and wave length-resolved fluorescence detection at low electric field
strengths. Tensor polarizabilities were derived from the quantum beat
signals observed in pure homogeneous electric fields. Strong variation
s of the tensor polarizabilities of the levels in the 6snp P-1(1) seri
es were found.
