Abstract
We report a study of implantation and optical spectroscopy of foreign atoms in a solid-helium matrix. With a sample of more than Ba atoms in 1 , a storage time in excess of 5 hours has been demonstrated. Laser-induced fluorescence studies favor the assumption that the isotropy of the trapping site for the implanted atoms is preserved during the liquid-to-solid phase transition.
