摘要: We present observations of Stark spectra of barium in highly excited Rydberg states in the energy region around n=35. The one-photon excitation concerns the π transition. The observed Stark spectra at electric fields ranging from 0 to 60 V·cm-1 are well explained by the diagonalization of the Hamiltonian incorporating the core effects. From the Stark maps, the anti-crossings between energy levels are identified experimentally and theoretically. The time of flight spectra at the specified Stark states are recorded, where the deceleration and acceleration of barium atoms are observed. It is well consistent with the prediction derived from the Stark maps on the point of view of energy conservation.
