Broadening of optical lines originating from Rydberg states : a simple model
Service de Physique des Atomes et des Surfaces Centre d'Etudes Nucléaires de Saclay, 91191 Gif-sur-Yvette Cedex, France
A simple Fermi-type model that connects the broadening cross-sections of optical Rydberg lines to elastic and inelastic collisional cross-section is proposed and discussed.
Résumé
Un modèle simple qui permet de relier l'élargissement des raies optiques, issues des niveaux de Rydberg, aux sections efficaces de collisions élastiques et inélastiques est présenté et discuté.
PACS: 3150 – Excited states of atoms and molecules / 3270J – Atomic line shapes, widths, and shifts / 3440 – Elastic scattering of atoms and molecules / 3450 – Inelastic scattering of atoms and molecules
Key words: atomic excited states / atomic inelastic collisions / atomic spectral line breadth / elastic scattering of atoms and molecules / elastic collisional cross sections / Fermi type model / broadening cross sections / optical Rydberg lines / inelastic collisional cross section
