摘要: The Zeeman relaxation rate in cold collisions of Ti(3d(2)4s(2) 3F2) with He is measured. We find that collisional transfer angular momentum dramatically suppressed due to the presence filled 4s(2) shell. degree electronic interaction anisotropy, which responsible for relaxation, estimated be about 200 times smaller Ti-He complex than complexes typical non-S-state atoms.
