Long-Range Atom–Ion Rydberg Molecule: A Novel Molecular Binding Mechanism
We present a novel binding mechanism where a neutral Rydberg atom and an atomic ion form a molecular bound state at a large internuclear distance. The binding mechanism is based on Stark shifts and level crossings that are induced in the Rydberg atom due to the electric field of the ion. At particul...
