By changing an electric field it is possible to effect the same change in configuration as by altering the time delay between two picosecond laser pulses. In particular, we demonstrate that it is possible to change excited Ba atoms from a doubly excited 5d7d state to a singly excited 6snk Rydberg state by changing an electric field by 630 V/cm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
