On the Possibility of the Precise Test of Interatomic Interaction Potentials Using the Effect of Anomalous Light-Induced Drift

Аннотация

The spectral features of the velocity of light-induced drift (LID) of lithium atoms in a neon buffer gas have been theoretically studied using four known ab initio calculated interatomic interaction potentials for the Li–Ne system of colliding particles. The calculations with each of these four potentials predict a strong temperature dependence of the spectral shape of the LID signal of Li atoms in the Ne atmosphere in various temperature intervals. The results allow the high-precision test of the interatomic interaction potentials in experiments on anomalous LID.
