Spin dependent inelastic collisions between metastable state two-electron atoms and ground state alkali-atoms

Experimentally the spin dependence of inelastic collisions between ytterbium (Yb) in the metastable ${}^{3}{{\rm{P}}}_{2}$ state and lithium (Li) in the ${}^{2}{{\rm{S}}}_{1/2}$ ground state manifold is investigated at low magnetic fields. Using selective excitation all magnetic sublevels m _J of ${...
