Molecular ion-electron recombination in an expanding ultracold neutral plasma of NO+.
Using state-selected double-resonant excitation, we create a Rydberg gas of NO molecules excited to the principal quantum number n = 50 of the f-series converging to the ion rotational level, N(+) = 2. This gas evolves to form an ultracold plasma, which expands under the thermal pressure of its elec...
