Abstract
The method of singlet-triplet anticrossing has been extended to the levels of with . We measure both the zero-field singlet-triplet separation with a higher accuracy than optical measurements, and the antisymmetric part of the spin-orbit coupling between singlet and triplet states. The agreement with many-body perturbation calculations for singlet-triplet intervals and with the hydrogenic approximation for spin-orbit coupling is fairly good even for low- states. Values of singlet-triplet mixing in the states, derived directly from the experimental results, are significantly more accurate than previous experimental and theoretical values.
