Suppression of angular momentum transfer in cold collisions of transition metal atoms in ground states with nonzero orbital angular momentum

Abstract

The Zeeman relaxation rate in cold collisions of Ti(3d{sup 2}4s{sup 2} {sup 3}F{sub 2}) with He is measured. We find that collisional transfer of angular momentum is dramatically suppressed due to the presence of the filled 4s{sup 2} shell. The degree of electronic interaction anisotropy, which is responsible for Zeeman relaxation, is estimated to be about 200 times smaller in the Ti-He complex than in He complexes with typical non-S-state atoms.
