Zero-field level-crossing techniques have been used to measure some upper-state lifetimes of the helium atom. The half-widths of curves obtained by plotting the polarization against the magnetic field strength for the n1D–21D transitions yielded lifetimes of 2.03 × 10−8 s for the 31D state, 3.36 × 10−8 s for the 41D state, and 7.44 × 10−8 s for the 51D state. Collision cross sections for these 1D levels were also determined.

Abstract Double resonance level crossing detection cannot normally be used to record transitions between the quadrupole Zeeman levels. Neither can it be used if the quadrupole resonance frequency is larger than the proton NMR frequency in high field. A simple variation of the level crossing experiment is demonstrated which allows energy to be efficiently transferred from quadrupole to proton system and hence lead to detection in these two cases. In the case of the quadrupole Zeeman levels it allows transitions between the ±½ levels to be detected in a small magnetic field, allowing measurement of the asymmetry parameter (ƞ) for spin 3/2 systems. This is demonstrated for the 11B nucleus in triethanolamine borate. Detection of high frequency quadrupole transitions is demonstrated from which relaxation information is obtained.

The zero-field level-crossing technique has been used to determine the lifetimes of the 5p2 3P2,1 and 4d2 3P levels of neutral strontium. The results are compared with those given in the literature and calculated from the available values of oscillator strengths. We have determined the following lifetimes: τ(5p2 3P2) = 6.39 ± 0.20 ns; τ(5p2 3P1) = 6.91 ± 0.20 ns; τ(4d2 3P) = 6.74 ± 0.15 ns.

The lifetime of the 5p2P3/2 level of Sr+ has been measured using the zero field level crossing (Hanle effect) technique with optical excitation from the ground state of the ion. The ions are produced in a discharge at the mouth of a furnace used to produce a strontium beam. No foreign gas is used to carry the discharge. An alignment depolarization cross section is obtained for collisions between Sr+ ions and Sr neutral atoms. The results are compared with the published ones.
