摘要
The electric dipole polarizabilities of the 6s6p P23 metastable state of mercury have been measured, using the E-H gradient-balance technique. The values obtained are zz(MJ=2)=(4.71.9)×10-24 cm3, zz(MJ=1)=(4.40.9)×10-24 cm3, and =(4.51.5)×10-24 cm3. In addition, the average polarizability of the 5d96s26p D33 metastable state of mercury has been measured, using an electric-deflection method. For this state, =(1.80.8)×10-24 cm3. The metastable atoms are produced by electron bombardment of a ground-state mercury beam, and are detected by Auger ejection of electrons from a cesium-coated tungsten surface. The data are interpreted by simulating the experimental conditions on a digital computer. © 1968 The American Physical Society.
