Study calculates Stark structures in alkali metals, highlighting numerical methods and experimental validation.
The authors describe practical methods for calculating the Stark structure of Rydberg states of the alkali metals based on diagnolization of the energy matrix. A survey of Stark structures is presented for all of the alkali metals in the vicinity of $n=15$. Topics discussed include general methods for evaluating radial matrix elements, the treatment of fine structure, oscillator-strength distribution, scaling laws, the structure of a level anticrossing, and sources of error. Experimental Stark maps are compared with calculated results for lithium and cesium. Experimental studies of the oscillator-strength distribution within a Stark manifold and the structure of a level anticrossing are also presented.
