WHAT DOES STARK EFFECT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Stark effect

Stark effect

The Stark effect is the shifting and splitting of spectral lines of atoms and molecules due to presence of an external electric field. The amount of splitting and or shifting is called the Stark splitting or Stark shift. In general one distinguishes first- and second-order Stark effects. The first-order effect is linear in the applied electric field, while the second-order effect is quadratic in the field. The Stark effect is responsible for the pressure broadening of spectral lines by charged particles. When the split/shifted lines appear in absorption, the effect is called the inverse Stark effect. The Stark effect is the electric analogue of the Zeeman effect where a spectral line is split into several components due to the presence of a magnetic field. The Stark effect can be explained with fully quantum mechanical approaches, but it has also been a fertile testing ground for semiclassical methods. Computed chaotic Rydberg atom energy level spectra of lithium in an electric field near n=15 for m=0. Note that energy levels cannot cross due to the ionic core breaking symmetries of dynamical motion.)...
