摘要
Series of Rydberg states up to n > 100 are observed for the first time in weakly bound, polyatomic van der Waals clusters. Cross-correlation calculations of the dense spectra with simulated Rydberg series reveal a long-lived (mu s), hydrogenlike series of Rydberg states. The slightly different series limits are interpreted as single quantum states in the dense rovibrational level manifold of the weakly bound cluster cation.
