Scalar and tensor polarizabilities of low lying S, P, D, F and G states in rubidium

The scalar and tensor polarizabilities of over 50 of the lowest S, P, D, F and G states of rubidium are evaluated using a Coulomb approximation. The computed results are in good agreement with measured values found in the literature which are briefly reviewed. The scalar polarizability α 0 of the (5...

Description
Summary:The scalar and tensor polarizabilities of over 50 of the lowest S, P, D, F and G states of rubidium are evaluated using a Coulomb approximation. The computed results are in good agreement with measured values found in the literature which are briefly reviewed. The scalar polarizability α 0 of the (5–12) S 1 2 states is found to be given to within 2% by the formula α 0 n ∗7 = 0.267 + 8.69 n ∗ where n ∗ is the effective principal quantum number.
