Abstract

Abstract

In order to obtain the first ionization threshold of Sm atom, the photoionization signal, autoionization signal and field ionization signal generated by the Sm atom under multi-step excitation were distinguished, and the influence of the Rydberg state of the Sm atom with different magnetic quantum numbers on the first ionization threshold was studied. At first, by use of multi-step resonance excitation combined with polarization technology, the rare-earth Sm atoms were excited to the autoionization or bound Rydberg state with a specific magnetic quantum number near the first ionization threshold. Then the ions generated by photoionization and autoionization were pushed out of the action zone by the reverse electrostatic field, and a delayed pulsed electric field was applied to detect the Sm atoms of bound Rydberg state. Finally, the relationship between the first ionization threshold of Sm atom and the varying intensity of electrostatic field was acquired, and the first ionization threshold of the Sm atom with different magnetic quantum numbers under zero field was determined by fitting. The experimental results show that the first ionization threshold of Sm atom is 45519.69±0.17 cm⁻¹, which has been compared with the results obtained by other methods. The effectiveness of the delayed field ionization technique in measuring the first ionization threshold of Sm atom has been verified.
