The large electric dipole moments associated with highly excited Rydberg states of atoms
and molecules make gas-phase samples in these states very well suited to deceleration and …

The coherent interaction between ensembles of helium Rydberg atoms and microwave
fields in the vicinity of a solid-state coplanar waveguide is reported. Rydberg-Rydberg …

Methods for the production of cold atomic and molecular samples relying on the
deceleration of pulsed supersonic beams are described and a review of the corresponding …

Transitions between high Rydberg states of 133 Cs atoms have been studied by high-
resolution millimeter-wave spectroscopy of an ultracold sample. The spectroscopic …

The interface of neutral Rydberg atoms in the gas phase with a solid surface is of interest in
many fields of modern research. This interface poses a particular challenge for any …

We study the photodetachment cross sections of H− near a metal surface using closed-orbit
theory. Formulas for cross sections are presented. We find the metal surface mainly modifies …

The photodetachment of H− near an interface has been investigated by the closed orbit
theory. It is found that the elastic interface has significant influence on the photodetachment …

Beams of helium atoms in Rydberg states with principal quantum number n= 52, and
traveling with an initial speed of 1950 m/s, have been accelerated, decelerated, and guided …

Beams of helium atoms in selected Rydberg-Stark states with principal quantum number n=
52 and electric dipole moments as large as 9910 D have been guided and deflected in the …

Hydrogen and deuterium Rydberg atoms, initially moving at velocities of 600 and 560 ms− 1,
respectively, in pulsed supersonic beams, have been decelerated and electrostatically …
