Evolution from a molecular Rydberg gas to an ultracold plasma in a seeded supersonic expansion of NO.
We report the spontaneous formation of a plasma from a gas of cold Rydberg molecules. Double-resonant laser excitation promotes nitric oxide, cooled to 1 K in a seeded supersonic molecular beam, to single Rydberg states extending as deep as 80 cm;{-1} below the lowest ionization threshold. The densi...
