Perturbed 5{ital snd} {sup 1,3}{ital D}{sub 2} Rydberg series of Sr
- Department of Physics, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027 (China)
The energy levels of the Sr 5{ital snd} {sup 1,3}{ital D}{sub 2} Rydberg series have been measured using an autoionization scheme, which provides an excellent opportunity for the application of the multichannel quantum-defect theory (MQDT) to their spectra. MQDT parametrizations of the {sup 1,3}{ital D}{sub 2} bound-state Rydberg series are presented, including calculated term values for these series. Furthermore, it is found that MQDT wave functions that are derived from experimentally determined level energies are capable of predicting such wave-function-sensitive properties as natural radiative lifetimes of Sr 5{ital snd} {sup 1,3}{ital D}{sub 2} Rydberg states.
