We measure the hyperfine structure of the $5p^65d$ ${}^2D_{3/2}$, $5p^65d$ ${}^2D_{5/2}$, $5p^64f$ ${}^2F^o_{5/2}$, and $5p^64f$ ${}^2F^o_{7/2}$ levels in doubly-ionized lanthanum (La III; La$^{2+}$) in a hollow cathode lamp using optogalvanic spectroscopy. Analysis of the observed spectra allows us to determine the hyperfine $A$ coefficients for these levels to be $A_{D3/2}=412(4)$ MHz, $A_{D5/2}=20(5)$ MHz, $A_{F5/2}=319(2)$ MHz, and $A_{F7/2}=155(4)$ MHz; and provide estimates for the hyperfine $B$ coefficients as $B_{D3/2}=105(29)$ MHz, $B_{D5/2}=157(40)$ MHz, $B_{F5/2}=-2(53)$ MHz, and $B_{F7/2}=171(51)$ MHz.

The hyperfine structure of the long-lived $5D_{3/2}$ and $5D_{5/2}$ levels of Ba$^+$ ion is analyzed. A procedure for extracting relatively unexplored nuclear magnetic moments $Omega$ is presented. The relevant electronic matrix elements are computed in the framework of the ab initio relativistic many-body perturbation theory. Both the first- and the second-order (in the hyperfine interaction) corrections to the energy levels are analyzed. It is shown that a simultaneous measurement of the hyperfine structure of the entire $5D_J$ fine-structure manifold allows one to extract $Omega$ without contamination from the second-order corrections. Measurements to the required accuracy should be possible with a single trapped barium ion using sensitive techniques already demonstrated in Ba$^+$ experiments.
We measure the lifetime of the cesium $5^2D_{5/2}$ state using a time-resolved single-photon-counting method. We excite atoms in a hot vapor cell via an electric quadrupole transition at a wavelength of $685,mathrm{nm}$ and record the fluorescence of a cascade decay at a wavelength of $852,mathrm{nm}$. We extract a lifetime of $1353(5),mathrm{ns}$ for the $5^2D_{5/2}$ state, in agreement with a recent theoretical prediction. In particular, the observed lifetime is consistent with the literature values of the polarizabilities of the cesium $6P$ states. Our measurement contributes to resolving a long-standing disagreement between a number of experimental and theoretical results.
We report the measurement of the photoionization cross sections of the 5S${}_{1/2}$ and 5P${}_{3/2}$ states of ${}^{87}$Rb in a two-species Hg and Rb magneto-optical trap (MOT) by the cooling laser for Hg. The photoionization cross sections of Rb in the 5S${}_{1/2}$ and 5P${}_{3/2}$ states at 253.7~nm are determined to be $1^{+4.3}_{-1}times10^{-20}~text{cm}^2$ and $4.63(30)times 10^{-18}text{cm}^2$, respectively. To measure the 5S${}_{1/2}$ and 5P${}_{3/2}$ states fractions in the MOT we detected photoionization rate of the 5P${}_{3/2}$ state by an additional 401.5~nm laser. The photoionization cross section of Rb in the 5P${}_{3/2}$ state at 401.5~nm is determined to be $text{1.18(10)}times10^{-17}~text{cm}^2$.
In this paper, we have calculated parity nonconserving electric dipole transition amplitudes of the hyperfine components for the transitions between the ground and first excited states of $^{137}$Ba$^{+}$ and $^{87}$Sr$^{+}$ using sum-over-states technique. The results are presented to extract the constants associated with the nuclear spin dependent amplitudes from experimental measurements. The wavefunctions to calculate the most dominant part of the sums are constructed using highly correlated coupled-cluster theory based on the Dirac-Coulomb-Gaunt Hamiltonian.
The zero crossing of the dynamic differential scalar polarizability of the $S_{1/2}-D_{5/2}$ clock transition in $^{138}$Ba$^+$ has been determined to be $459.1614(28),$THz. Together with previously determined matrix elements and branching ratios, this tightly constrains the dynamic differential scalar polarizability of the clock transition over a large wavelength range ($gtrsim 700,$nm). In particular it allows an estimate of the blackbody radiation shift of the clock transition at room temperature.
