摘要
The ionization energy of Gd-160 has been determined using high-resolution laser excitation on an effusive Gd atomic beam. Even-parity J=5,6 Rydberg series were excited by three single-frequency lasers. Despite the complex electronic structure of Gd, sequences of relatively unperturbed levels were observed in the ranges n=50-79 and 87-120. After correcting for weak perturbations, the convergence of several Rydberg series has an uncertainty of 6x10(-4) cm(-1). The final value of 49 601.514 2(8) cm(-1) includes cumulative uncertainty in absolute laser wave numbers for the ladder of transitions coupling the Rydberg spectrum to the J=2 ground state.
