Abstract

van der Waals-Zeeman transitions between magnetic states of metastable rare-gas atoms Ar ^*, Kr ^* and Xe ^* ( ³P ₂) induced by a solid surface in the presence of a magnetic field, are investigated theoretically and experimentally. By use of a Zeeman slower, metastable argon atoms with various velocities ranging from 170 to 560 m/s allow us to investigate the small impact parameter range (3-7 nm) within which these transitions occur, as well as the effect of atom polarisation on the sharing out of the M states.
