Stark effect Definition and 22 Threads

There is an hydrogen atom on a electric field along ##z## ##E_z= E_{0z}## . Consider only the states for ##n=2##. Solving the Saecular matrix for find the correction to first order for the energy and the correction to zero order for the states, we have: ##| \Psi_{211} \rangle##, ##|...

Hello! If we have a 2 level system (say an atom) with energies ##0## and ##\Delta## and opposite parities, and we add an electric field, E, the hamiltonian would now look like ##H = H_0 +H_{Stark}## (where ##H_0## is the unperturbed Hamiltonian), which is equal to ##H=H_0-e\vec{r}\vec{E}##...

Hello! Can someone explain to me in an intuitive way (or a nice mathematical demonstration) or point me towards some accessible papers about the AC Stark effect (Autler-Townes effect)? I am mainly confused by how can one start from a 2 level system (consider a 2 level system for simplicity) add...

For e ii) The answer is Why are there only 4 sublevels? We haven't learned about degenerate perturbation theory, the only thing mention in lecture is which I don't understand so I only memorize the good eigenfunctions for n=2. Could you explain why there are still only 4 sublevels for n=7 and 8?

Homework Statement Hi everybody! I have a problem related to first-order perturbation theory, and I'm not sure I'm tackling the problem correctly. Here is the problem: Consider a hydrogen atom in an externally applied electric field ##\vec{F}##. Use first-order perturbation theory to find the...

Homework Statement A Hydrogen atom is in a homogeneous electric field. The field's interaction with the atom is described by the Hamiltonian ##\hat H = e E_0 r \cos \theta##. Calculate the energy shift due to the linear stark effect in the following state of Hydrogen. ##\Psi =...

Stark effect (shifting and splitting spectral lines due to external electric field) is calculated in nearly all QM textbooks as application of perturbation theory (alongside Zeeman). Wikipedia article ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stark_effect ) has a nice figure with n-th level splitting into...

Homework Statement A Stark effect experiment is performed on the rubidium D1 line ##(5p \ {}^2P_{1/2} → 5s \ {}^2S_{1/2})## at 780.023 nm. Given that the polarizabilities of the ##5p \ {}^2P_{1/2}## and ##5s \ {}^2S_{1/2}## levels are ##6.86 × 10^{−16}## and ##2.78 × 10^{−16} cm−1 m^2 V^{−2}##...

Hi. I'm reviewing some past qualifying exams and stumbled on something i can't figure out, probably because I'm still confused about the Wigner-Eckart theorem.. So, the set-up is just degenerate perturbation theory for constant electric field along z on the n = 2 hydrogen states. That's a...

Homework Statement Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution With a parity operator, Px = -x implies x has odd parity while Px = x implies x has even parity. Things that puzzle me 1. Why is ##[H_0,P] = 0## and ##H_1P = -PH_1##? Is it because ##H_1 \propto z## so ##Pz = -z##? Then...

hi all, can anyone help me understanding what is the meaning of the mixing state of 2p and 2s? thanks in advance. when an electron in n=2 sate in a hydrogen atom, experience a external em field, then the degenerate states split into 3 classes, which are: 1/sqrt2( 210 + 200 ) with higher...

This is what I understand right now: The stark effect is when we perturb a system with hamiltonian H_0 by applying a constant electric field, so that H = H_0 - F D_z where F is the field, aligned in the z direction, and D_z is the z-component of the induced dipole. The first order...

Homework Statement Considering the n = 2 states of hydrogen: In the absense of an external field, the four j = 1/2 states are degenerate. Using degenerate pertubation theory, I am supposed to show that for a very weak field the Stark effect shifts the energy levels by \mp \sqrt{3}a_0 e...

has somebody carried out stark effect experiment in the lab? is the effect visible to the eye or is it necessary to keep long exposures of the CCD to observe the effect?

Hi, Is it possible to observe stark splittings with a 600 grooves/mm attached to a spectrometer.I carried out the experiment by placing the hydrogen tube in between the spark gap of the rhumkorff coil but was unable to see splittings.Wonder whether it was the lack of resolving power of the...

Hi. Does anyone know how to perform perturbation theory for a finite well under the influence of an electric field? If not or also what other method is there to calculate the shift in subband energies under the influence of an E field in a quantum well? Thanks

hi, i'm a physics undergraduate at a local university in sri lanka. currently I'm arrying out a research in observing the stark effect.the problem is that i have not been able to find anything about the experimental setup of demonstrating the stark effect on the internet...can anybody give...

Is the equation for calculating the Stark effect the same for every atom? I am trying to understand how to calculate the Stark effect for Oxygen but do not understand the formula. Can someone please explain and show me how to calculate the Stark effect? It would be greatly appreciated!

in the zeeman effect, there are degeneracy levels due to the the magnetic quantum number which when placed in a magnetic field, the degeneracy is broken. is there a way to see the degeneracy of the angular momentum? since Energy is only effected by the principal quantum number, there should...

Can someone please give me a brief description of the AC Stark effect? What is it ?

EDIT: Sorry... I have to use perturbation theory. My mistake. Hey... I have a quick question. I have to calculate the approximate change in energy via variation theory when the 'error' Hamiltonian for the Stark effect is defined as: |\vec{E}|cos\theta\bullet eR If I'm not mistaken, the change...

Hi Here is my question, Consider stark effect for n=3 states of hydrogen there are nine degenerate states ?3lm(neglect spin),We turn on an electric field in Z direction. a)construct 9 x 9 matrix representing perturbing hamiltonian. b)find eigen values and their degeneracies. do reply me...
