Theoretical investigation of energy-trapping mechanism by atomic systems
(American Physical Society, 1978-06)The theoretical results are presented here in detail for the atomic device proposed earlier by the author. This device absorbs energy from a continuous radiation source and stores some of it with atoms in metastable states ... -
