Ionization of hydrogen Rydberg molecules at a metal surface.
The interaction of a beam of Rydberg molecules with a metal surface is investigated for the first time. Hydrogen molecules in a supersonic expansion are excited to Rydberg states with principal quantum number n, in the range 17-22 and are directed at a small angle onto a flat surface of either alumi...
