Measurements on the quantum defect of the 2S Rydberg series and fine structure of the 2D Rydberg series in the gallium I spectrum
- 1. Amsterdam Univ. (Netherlands). Zeeman Lab.
Description
Level positions of members between n=25 and n=45 of the 2S Rydberg series in Ga I were measured with high accuracy. The quantum defect of this series turns out to be constant over the region observed, indicating an unperturbed series. The value of the quantum defect is 2.791(2). The fine structure in the 2D series was measured by using direct excitation. A qualitative explanation is given. (orig.)
