Abstract

The wavefunctions, matrix elements, and probabilities of radiative transitions between Stark sub-levels of atomic multiplets are calculated as a function of the strength of a dc electric field. The general expressions for the wavefunction of a multiplet state in a field obtained by perturbation theory for close-lying levels with the use of completely reduced Green’s function allow one to determine the field dependence of both the dipole-allowed and dipole-forbidden radiation amplitudes. A decomposition of the second-order amplitude for the transition between fine-structure sublevels of two levels of equal parity into irreducible components is obtained. Numerical calculations of the probabilities of radiative transitions between triplet states of helium show the possibility of experimental observation of the emergence and vanishing of Stark lines of radiative transitions in the vicinity of anticrossing fields.
