Ionization potential of neutral iron, Fe I, by multistep laser spectroscopy

Creators

Description

Three-step laser excitation was used to populate and observe members of Rydberg series in neutral iron with high effective quantum numbers. These series converge to the ground and to the first excited state of singly ionized iron. The photoionization threshold was also observed. Analyses of the Rydberg series yield the value 63 737(1) per cm or 7.9024(1) eV as the ionization potential of neutral iron. 8 references
