Very slow expansion of an ultracold plasma formed in a seeded supersonic molecular beam of NO
The double-resonant laser excitation of nitric oxide, cooled to 1 K in a seeded supersonic molecular beam, yields a gas of 1012 molecules per cubic centimeter in a single selected Rydberg state. This population evolves to produce prompt free electrons, and a durable cold plasma of electrons and inta...
