Microwave-induced dielectronic recombination above the classical ionization limit in a static field

Journal Article Evans, C M ; Shuman, E S ; Gallagher, T F - Physical Review. A

The presence of a static electric field substantially enhances the dielectronic recombination (DR) rate below the classical field ionization limit and suppresses DR entirely above it. The addition of a small microwave field polarized orthogonally to the static field leads to a substantial DR signal above the classical ionization limit. We have examined DR from a continuum of finite bandwidth in static fields from 0 to 130 V/cm and with 8-11 GHz microwave fields of amplitudes up to 5 V/cm. We attribute the microwave-induced DR above the classical limit to the transfer of atoms by the microwave field from autoionizingmore »« less

Phase-dependent ionization of Rydberg atoms in static fields

Journal Article Magnuson, Eric ; Gallagher, T. F. - Physical Review A

Using a laser intensity modulated synchronously with a 15.9 GHz microwave field we have examined laser excitation of Li atoms to the vicinity of the ionization limit in the presence of the microwave field and a parallel static field. The static field breaks the symmetry of ionization in the two microwave half cycles, and as the intensity modulated laser beam is delayed relative to the microwave field, maxima in the ionization are observed every microwave field cycle, not every half cycle, as in the absence of the static field. Here, when the laser is tuned below the ionization limit theremore »« less

Measurement of sodium-argon cluster ion recombination by coherent microwave scattering

Journal Article Yue, Wu ; Sawyer, Jordan ; Zhili, Zhang ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

This present work demonstrates a non-intrusive measurement of the rate constant for sodium-argon cluster ions (Na{sup +}{center_dot}Ar) recombining with electrons. The measurements begin with resonance enhanced multi-photon ionization of the Na followed by coherent microwave scattering (radar) to monitor the plasma density. The Na{sup +}{center_dot}Ar adduct was formed in a three-body reaction. The plasma decay due to recombination reactions was monitored as a function of time and modeled to determine the rate constant. At 473 K, the rate constant is 1.8{sub -0.5}{sup +0.7}x10{sup -6}cm{sup 3}/s in an argon buffer at 100 Torr and initial Na number density of 5.5 xmore » 10{sup 10} cm{sup -3}.« less
