摘要：

High Rydberg states of the krypton atom have been investigated at high resolution by vacuum ultraviolet-millimeter wave double-resonance spectroscopy. The measurement of Stark shifts in the spectra of these high Rydberg states is used to determine electric fields with a +/-20 mu V/cm accuracy. The analysis of spectral line shapes provides information on inhomogeneous electric field distributions in the experimental volume. [S0031-9007(99)08605-6].
