Higher Rydberg states of NO trapped in rare gas matrixes were studied by inducing Rydberg-Rydberg transitions from the lowest A2S+ (3ss) Rydberg state and detecting its fluorescence depletion. This technique unravels Rydberg states, which cannot be accesse ...
The dynamics of non-polar electronic solvation has been studied on a model system consisting of NO-doped solid Ar. Excitation of the lowest Rydberg state A(3ss) of NO leads to formation of an electronic 'bubble', which has been studied by femtosecond pump- ...
A model based on fluid dynamics is proposed, which describes the dynamics of a photoinduced spherical deformation in solid hydrogen. The dynamics is driven by femtosecond excitation of the lowest A(3ss) Rydberg state of NO trapped in an H2 crystal, leading ...
The ultrafast dynamics are reported of bubble formation following excitation of the A 2S+ 3ss(v = 0) Rydberg state of NO trapped in Ar matrixes. The study is carried out by a fs pump-probe technique. The detected signal is the depletion of Rydberg fluoresc ...
In this paper a new method for gyroscopic sensitivity evaluation of a vibrating angular rate sensor is presented. This method is used to evaluate the angular rate sensitivity of a four-beam-bridge gyroscope realized at IMT Neuchatel [ii. The frequency spli ...
An atomic streak camera has been constructed that operates from the near to the far infrared. The photocathode used in conventional streak cameras for the conversion of photons to electrons has been replaced by gas-phase atoms in a Rydberg state. The low b ...
Transitions from bound atomic Rydberg Stark states in a static electric field to autoionizing Rydberg states above the electric-field-induced ionization threshold are studied using a broadband, tunable free-electron laser (photon energy 160-1400 cm(-1), pu ...
Excitation of the A(3ss) Rydberg state of NO trapped in an H2 crystal leads to the electronic bubble formation around the NO impurity, resulting in an increase of 0.9 .ANG. of the ground state cage radius. Its dynamics was followed in real-time by femtosec ...
We report a first-principle study of the E(1) defect in alpha-quartz and of the analogous E'(gamma) defect in amorphous SiO2. Our calculation supports the attribution of both these defects to a positively charged oxygen vacancy. The ground-state configurat ...
