Abstract
We report a study of implantation and optical spectroscopy of foreign atoms in a solid-helium matrix. With a sample of more than 10(9) Ba at oms in 1 cm(3), a storage time in excess of 5 hours has been demonstra ted. Laser-induced fluorescence studies favor the assumption that the isotropy of the trapping site for the implanted atoms is preserved dur ing the liquid-to-solid phase transition.
