Electric field ionization of high Rydberg states of Ar with sequences of identical pulses

Novel field-ionization behavior of very high Rydberg states of Ar (n=50-250) is observed using sequential pulsed electric fields. Fast autoionization acts as a filter against adiabatic field ionization near the ^(2)P_1/2 threshold, whereas both diabatic and adiabatic field ionization occur near the...
