Abstract

Mercury atoms are stepwise excited to the 6s6d levels by means of a mercury lamp (61S0 to 61P1) and a CW tunable dye laser (61P1 to 61D2 or 63D2). The transfer of coherence (orientation and alignment) between these levels induced in collisions with noble-gas (helium and xenon) atoms is studied in a weak magnetic field by means of the Hanle effect. Values of the cross sections for coherence transfer are determined from the experimental data.
