Nonhydrogenic Effects in the Deceleration of Rydberg Atoms in Inhomogeneous Electric Fields
The effect of deviation from hydrogenic behavior on the deceleration of Rydberg atoms in inhomogeneous electric fields was analyzed. A particle which was nonpolar in the ground state was electrostatically decelerated. The effect was smaller by a factor of 2 because of adiabatic traversals of avoided...
