Optical transitions from two microwave discharge excited states of argon have been observed using cavity ring-down spectroscopy. These transitions originate on the high-lying levels, 3d[1/2] 1° and 3d[3/2] 2° , and terminate on the nf ′[5/2] Rydberg (n = 8 to 22) levels, which, except for n = 8, lie between the 2P3/2 and 2P1/2 ionization thresholds. In total, 24 such spectral lines have been observed. The quantum defect for the f ′ series has been measured and is compared to previously measured values. We observe a nearly threefold jump in line width in going from n = 8 to n = 9, below and above the 2P3/2 threshold, respectively. The line widths are broad and increase monotonically with n (above 9), in contrast to the narrowing of line widths usually observed. We cannot attribute this to a single source but conclude that collisional, quasielastic l-mixing of the nf ′[5/2] Rydberg states plays a significant role.

We present a far infrared investigation of the optical transitions in epitaxial graphene subjected to a perpendicular magnetic field. Cyclotron-resonance-like transitions between adjacent electron Landau levels are observed, as well as interband transitions. The results are discussed in terms of existing theoretical models of Dirac fermions in graphene, and the relevant optical selection rules.

ABSTRACTThis paper attempts to address the question of the role played by dimensionality in the observed optical transitions of porus silicon and related material systems. The effect of the degree of porosity on the transition energies, line widths and thermal stability. In addition more subtle effects observed in the thermal behaviour of the spectra which may relate to carrier trapping in a random potential of an imperfect localised system are reported. Comparisons with the spectral behaviour which would be predicted by quantum scale confinement of electronic particles are made.
