Abstract

Using a microwave and radio frequency resonance approach we observe the transitions of ytterbium from the 6s(n+3)d states to the 6sn states for 46 and 28n33. The energies of the 6sn states of 4 are determined from the observed intervals and the known values of the 6snd energies. We use a nonadiabatic core polarization model to analyze the energy levels to determine the dipole (αd) and quadrupole (αq) polarizabilities of the ground state of Yb+. We find the values αd=60.51(10)a03 and αq=672(28)a05.
