Submonolayer adsorption on a metal surface, investigated with Rydberg atoms as electric-field-sensitive probes

Creator:

McCown, Gary Edward

Abstract:

Electric fields due to adsorbates on a metal surface are studied experimentally with Rydberg atoms as probes. A beam of lithium Rydberg atoms, produced by an oven in a high-vacuum system, passes within 3μm of the surface of a metal mesh having 6μm square openings. Rydberg states with principal quantum...
