Abstrakt: Resonant optical absorption of ground state Ce atoms is demonstrated. Ce I resonant emission line at 461.05 nm (Aij = 28 x 108 s-1) corresponding to the transition 4f5d6s²-4f² (¹G)5d(²I)6s is utilized. In a magnetron sputtering discharge used as an atomic source, the absolute densities of atomic ground state Ce sputtered in pure Ar and in Ar-O2 (oxidized magnetron cathode) gas mixtures are found to be nearly 2 x 108 cm-3 (pure Ar) and 1 x 107 cm-3 (Ar + O2). The phenomena inherent in reactive sputtering, such as the non-oxidized-oxidized regime transition and the hysteresis of the transition point, are detected. The obtained data are compared with the existing results of a similar absorption analysis performed in the Ti dc magnetron discharges. The discrepancies in the obtained Ce and Ti absolute ground state densities are analysed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
