在之前的研究中，碱金属原子D1线的π跃迁可通过单一闭式表达式给出的磁场值实现抵消。而D2线的相关处理至今未获成功，原因是²P₃/₂多重态的固定m哈密顿块达到4×4维度，对应的公式被认为过于繁琐而无法实用。本研究表明该困难仅为表象：由于塞曼相互作用仅耦合ΔF=±1的能级，每个块无论维度如何均为三对角矩阵；其特征多项式因此服从三项递推关系，且特征向量的分量为特征值的多项式。利用这两个性质，本研究通过Ferrari公式和Cardano公式以闭式形式求得特征值，无需额外对角化即可得到特征向量，最终得到一个单一关系，可将抵消D2线跃迁的磁场值表示为激发态特征值、核自旋I、基态超精细分裂及磁量子数的显函数。推导得到关于m和偏振的必要条件，取代了D1线已知的选择规则。计算了²³Na、³⁹K、⁴⁰K、⁴¹K、⁸⁵Rb、⁸⁷Rb和¹³³Cs的π、σ⁺、σ⁻跃迁的所有抵消磁场值，范围达20 kG并给出其不确定度，共234个值。与D1线不同，D2线的σ±跃迁确实可被抵消，且占所求得值的多数。计算得到的B值的精度仅受激发态超精细常数不确定度的限制。
英文摘要
In a previous work the $π$ transitions of the $D_1$ line of alkali-metal atoms were shown to cancel at magnetic-field values given by a single closed-form expression. The $D_2$ line has until now resisted the same treatment, because the fixed-$m$ Hamiltonian blocks of the $^2P_{3/2}$ manifold reach the dimension $4\times4$, and the corresponding formulas were considered to be too heavy to be useful. In this work we show that this difficulty is only apparent. Since the Zeeman interaction couples only levels with $ΔF=\pm1$, every block, whatever its dimension, is tridiagonal; its characteristic polynomial therefore obeys a three-term recursion, and the components of its eigenvectors are polynomials in the eigenvalue. Using these two properties we obtain the eigenvalues in closed form by Ferrari's and Cardano's formulas, the eigenvectors without any further diagonalization, and finally a single relation which gives the magnetic-field value canceling a $D_2$ transition as an explicit function of the excited-state eigenvalue, the nuclear spin $I$, the ground-state hyperfine splitting and the magnetic quantum number. A necessary condition on $m$ and on the polarization is derived, which replaces the selection rule known for the $D_1$ line. All the magnetic-field values canceling $π$, $σ^+$ and $σ^-$ transitions of $^{23}$Na, $^{39}$K, $^{40}$K, $^{41}$K, $^{85}$Rb, $^{87}$Rb and $^{133}$Cs are calculated up to 20~kG and given with their uncertainties; there are 234 of them. Contrary to the $D_1$ line, the $σ^{\pm}$ transitions of the $D_2$ line do cancel, and they account for the majority of the values found. The accuracy of the calculated $B$ values is limited only by the uncertainties of the excited-state hyperfine constants.
