The Hanle width and hence the lifetime of the first excited 1P1 level of neutral magnesium have been measured over a wide range of densities. The natural lifetime of the 3s3p1P1 level is 2.00 ns. The depolarization cross section for collisions with the ground level neutral atom has been measured and [Formula: see text].

The Hanle effect in the 3s2 1S0–3s4p1P1 (2026 Å) transition of Mg I has been studied over a range of densities. The low density observations lead to an accurate lifetime measurement of the 4p1P1 excited level. Related oscillator strengths are calculated.

The Hanle effect in the 4s21S0–4s4p1P1 (4226.7 Å) transition in Ca I has been observed over a wide range of densities. The low density observations determine the lifetime of the 1P1 level to be 4.49 ns. Collision parameters are obtained from observations in the high density region.

The change in the Hanle effect of the singlet resonance line of neutral barium has been studied over a wide range of density. The low density region has been used to confirm a lifetime of 8.37 ± 0.08 ns for the 6s6p1P1 level. We have determined the cross sections for the relaxation of the multipole moment of order 2 for collisions of the excited level with the ground level and with the metastable 6s5d1D2 level, and comparisons are made with the measured value of [Formula: see text] for the ground level with theoretical predictions.

The Hanle width and hence the lifetime of the [Formula: see text] level of neutral calcium has been measured over a wide range of densities. The natural lifetime of the [Formula: see text] level is 20.07 ns. The depolarization cross section for collision with the ground level neutral atoms has been measured and [Formula: see text].
