Abstract
An initially populated spin state of an ion chain interacting with an external field can decay via spin coupling or via ionization. Using a simple two-level Hamiltonian we investigate the relation between spin-coupling and ionization rate and identify conditions for an efficient spin-control via a non-resonant Stark effect by suppressing ionization. The results are confirmed in solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for the interaction of a laser field with a spin-coupled model system where two electrons and a nucleus move in a collinear configuration. It is thus shown, that quantum control of intersystem crossing can indeed be effective if the intensity of the external field and the accompanying Stark-shift is adjusted properly to the spin-coupling strength.
