Abstract

Experiment on energy transfer in collisions between two laser excited alkali atoms of different species are reported and rate coefficients have been measured in a sodium-potassium mixture for the Na(3D) and K(7S,5D) levels. These values are of same order of magnitude as rate coefficients for sodium 3P/3P collisions.
