Electronic gJ Factors, Natural Lifetimes, and Electric Quadrupole Interaction for Rb 87 in the np ^(2)P_(3/2) Series of the Rb I Spectrum

Belin, G and Svanberg, Sune LU (1971) In Physica Scripta 4(6). p.269-273
Abstract
For Rb 87 the level crossing method was applied to the first four levels ( n = 5, 6, 7, and 8) of the np 2 P 3/2 series in the Rb I spectrum. By using magnetic dipole interaction constants from corresponding zero field optical double resonance experiments, the electronic g J factors of 5, 6, and 7 p 2 P 3/2 were calculated from the level crossing data. For these levels the natural radiative lifetimes were determined from the half-widths of the level crossing signals. For 8 p 2 P 3/2 the a factor was obtained assuming g J = -1.336 (2). From the measured electric quadrupole interaction constants b , decreasing values of the nuclear quadrupole moment Q were obtained in 5, 6, 7, and 8 p 2 P 3/2 . When core polarization effects are taken into... (More)
