The use of a high-Rydberg lithium beam and a fine mesh target to probe atom-surface interactions

Creator:

Taylor, Charles Robert, 1956-

Abstract:

A new experimental technique for the study of atom-surface interactions is obtained by passing an atomic beam containing high-Rydberg states through a fine mesh target. The technique is demonstrated to be a sensitive probe of the electric fields of adsorbed dipole layers in transmission experiments in which a time-dependent beam...
