Associative ionization involving highly excited alkali metal atoms

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

Papers on collisional ionization of excited alkali metal atoms by atoms in their ground states are briefly analyzed. The main premises behind the theoretical models of the process and some experimental findings for a number of atoms during the optical excitation of an effusive atomic beam are described.
