Abstract:
Analytical expressions for spontaneous and induced by blackbody radiation energy shifts and widths of atomic circular states are derived. The features of asymptotic behavior of the total width and energy shifts for highly excited Rydberg circular states in blackbody radiation field are described. Approximate equations are proposed for simple evaluations of energy characteristics and an absence of temperature-independent spontaneous contribution to the total energy width in a range of high temperatures and principal quantum numbers is demonstrated.
