A test of the absolute Ni(I) gf-value scale by using mean lives of selected levels for the configurations 3d84s4p and 3d94p

Lifetimes for 11 levels of the configurations 3d⁸4s4p and 3d⁹4p in Ni (I) have been measured by the delayed coincidence method, following selective dye-laser excitation in a wavelength range between 299 and 338 nm. The results are compared with earlier laser excitation and Hanle effect lifetime measurements and with lifetimes derived from the gf-values of Huber and Sandeman. Comparisons with the results of Huber and Sandeman show consistently excellent agreement.     

Perturbation study via rotational-resolved spectrum in the triplet band d3Δ-a3∏(2, 1) of CO

The triplet band d³Δ-a³∏ (2, 1) of the CO molecule in the near infrared region of 12350--12850cm^-1 has been observed and analysed by taking into account the perturbation interaction between the d³Δ(v = 2) and a³∏ (v = 9) states. The most perturbed lines and most precise perturbation parameters, \alpha₂ and \beta₂, and electronic perturbation constants,\xi _\e and \eta _\e , for the d³Δ (v= 2) and ³∏ (v = 9) states have been obtained.     

Saturated absorption spectroscopy in the ultra-violet with a continuous-wave,frequency-doubled,ring dye laser; even isotope shifts on the 6d3D1-6p3P0 transition of HgI

A novel, single-frequency, continuous-wave, ring, dye laser with intra-cavity frequency-doubling has been developed, and used to carry out saturated absorption spectroscopy on the 6s6d³D₁-6s6p³P₀ transition of Hg I at 296.7 nm. Even isotope shifts have been measured by this technique on this transition and are: Hg204-202, 350 ± 10 MHz; Hg202-200, 345 ± 10 MHz; Hg200-198, 310 ± 10 MHz. The shift on transitions from the hyperfine state 6s6d³D₁ ($\text{F =}\text{3}\text{2}$) between Hg199 and Hg201 has also been measured, and is 225 ± 10 MHz.     

Observation of the radiative 2s02p6−2s12p5 transition in NeIII

Ion impact excited spectra of Ne contain a line at 52.82 nm which has been identified as resulting from the decay of double 2s vacancies in NeIII via the transition 2s⁰2p⁶(¹S₀)?2s¹2p⁵(¹P₁).     

Experimentally determined transition probabilities of the systems 6p2→6p6d, 6p7s, 6p8s of neutral lead

Branching ratio measurements have been performed for all of the observed transitions from eight levels in neutral lead (6p²→6p6d, 6p²→ 6p7s, 6p²→6p8s) excited in a hollow cathode discharge in the 200–730 nm spectral range. From the relative emission intensity data, a set of absolute transition probabilities is derived for 28 lines, including lines for which transition probabilities have not been previously published. The absolute scales are obtained by averaging the measured lifetimes of the ³P⁰_1,2, ¹P_1⁰(6p7s), ³F^0_2,3, ³D^0_1,2(6p6d) levels.

Magneto-optical study of the 5ƒ2 → 5ƒ16d1 transition in UO2

High field Faraday rotation and magnetic circular dichroism measurements in the energy range between 1.4 and 5.4eV are reported for UO₂. The measurements are compared with two modified atomic models for the 5?² → 5?¹6d¹ transition using LS- and jj-coupling, respectively. Excellent agreement between theory and experiment is found only for a jj-coupling treatment of the final state.The Faraday rotation for magnetic saturation is estimated to be 3 × 10⁶ deg cm^?1 at 4.5 eV.     

Lifetime measurements of the 6p2P and 6d2D levels in Hg(II)

The radiative lifetimes of the 6p²P levels in Hg(II) have been measured to be $\text{τ(6p}{}^2\text{P}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>3</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{)= 3.92±0.12)}$ ns and $\text{τ(6p}{}^2\text{P}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{)=(2.3±0.3)}$ ns by the beam-gas-Hanle and the beam-foil techniques, respectively. The result for the $\text{6p}{}^2\text{P}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ level differs from recent theoretical calculations, whereas there is good agreement for the $\text{6p}{}^2\text{P}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>3</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ level.     

Lifetime of levels belonging to the 3p54p configuration of Ar(I)

The lifetimes of nine levels of Ar(I) belonging to the 3p⁵4p configuration have been measured by the delayed coincidence method, with errors in the range from 4 to 7%. The results are compared with other experimental values and with theoretical calculations using jK coupling and intermediate coupling. From cascade components of the 4p levels, decay lifetime values for some levels belonging to the 3p⁵3d and 3p⁵5s configurations have been inferred.     

Proton scattering from 9Be between 6 and 30 MeV and the structure of 9Be

Differential cross-section excitation functions at lab scattering angles 86.9°, 120.0°, 140.0° and 160.0° were measured for ⁹Be(p, p_o)⁹Be, ⁹Be(p, p₂)⁹Be and ⁹Be(p, d₀)⁸Be at proton lab energies from 6 to 15 MeV in 100 keV steps. A broad anomaly was observed in the ⁹Be(p, p₀)⁹Be excitation functions. Differential cross-section angular distributions were measured for ⁹Be(p, p₀)⁹Be and ⁹Be(p, p₂)⁹Be at lab energies of 13.0, 14.0, 15.0, 21.35 and 30.3 MeV and for ⁹Be(p, d₀)⁸Be at 13.0, 14.0, 15.0 and 21.35 MeV. Angular distributions of polarization analysing powers for ⁹Be($\text{p}$,p₀)⁹Be, ⁹Be(p, p₂)⁹Be and ⁹Be($\text{p}$, d₀)⁸Be were measured at 8.0, 11.0, 12.0, 13.0 and 15.0 MeV. A spherical optical-model (SOM) analysis of the elastic scattering angular distribution data from 13.0 to 30.3 MeV showed that an energy dependence of only V_R and W_s (volume real and surface imaginary depths) is sufficient to reproduce the measurements. Coupled-channels (CC) analyses were made with a quadrupole-deformed optical-model potential and strong coupling of $\text{3}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{?}}$, $\text{5}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ and $\text{7}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{?}}$ levels of a $\text{K =}\text{3}\text{2}$ ground-state rotational band of ⁹Be. The ⁹Be(p, p₀)⁹Be and ⁹Be(p, p₂)⁹Be data from 13.0 to 30.3 MeV were analyzed simultaneously at each energy, varying only V_R and W_s with energy, for a potential deformation of β = 1.1. Both SOM and CC analyses indicated the same energy dependence in V_R, while W_s averaged 3.5 MeV lower in CC than in SOM, with both energy dependences consistent with previous analyses of nucleon scattering from 1p shell nuclei.     

New expressions for g—factors of the mixed ground state of 3d^9 ions with a compressional tetragonal symmetry and its application to NaCl：Ni^＋（I）

We deduce new expressions for g-factors of the 3d⁹ ions with a compressional tetragonal symmetry, in which we consider not only the contribution from the spin-orbit coupling of the central transition metal ion but also that of the ligand orbits as well as the admixture of ²B_1g into ²A_1g (ground state). By using the new formulae, the electron paramagnetic resonance g-factors for NaCl:Ni⁺(I) are studied. Thus, the puzzle that the g_‖-shift is positive is reasonably explained.     

Theoretical study on 2s2p6np Rydberg states of Cu19+ ion

We report on the calculations of transition wavelengths and weighted oscillator strengths for 2s²2p⁶-2s2p⁶ⁿp (4 ≤ n ≤ 20) electric dipole (E1) transitions of Cu¹⁹⁺ ion. The flexible atomic code (FAC) has been adopted for the calculations. Comparisons are made with the experimental data available, showing that the present results for 4 ≤ n ≤ 6 are more accurate than the previous calculated values. Furthermore, combining the quantum defect theory (QDT) with the transition energies of 2s²2p⁶-2s2p⁶np, the quantum defects for 2s2p⁶np Rydberg series of Cu¹⁹⁺ ion are determined. In addition, the energies of any highly excited states (n > 20) for this series can be reliably predicted using the QDT and the given quantum defects. The ionization energies for Cu¹⁹⁺ and Cu²⁰⁺ ions are also calculated and they excellently accord with previous experimental and calculated values.

The h.f.s of the 6s6d³D₁ state of ¹⁹⁹Hg has been measured by Fabry-Perot interferometry, using the 6³P₀-6³D₁ transition and taking into account the “forbidden” transition 6³P₀-6¹D₂. Two independent results are obtained: 383,67 ± 0,61 mK and 383,38 ± 0,25 mK, which agree with the theoretical value.     

Excited-state absorption spectroscopy from the 3d9 4s relaxed excited state of Cu+ in KBr and NaBr

Data on the low temperature optical absorption from the optically-pumped relaxed excited state 3d⁹ 4s of Cu⁺, substitutional in KBr, are here reported for the first time. These results are discussed and it is suggested that the absorption peaks at higher energies are due to transitions from the 3d⁹ 4s to states of the conduction band continuum.     

Structure and visible photoluminescence of Sm3+, Dy3+ and Tm3+ doped c-axis oriented AlN films

Visible photoluminescence (PL) has been observed from rare earth (Tm, Sm and Dy)-doped AlN films grown by radio-frequency magnetron reactive sputtering. X-ray diffraction indicates that the films are c-axis-oriented hexagonal wurtzite type structure with an average crystal size of about 80--110nm. Room-temperature PL spectra indicate that the blue emission is due to the transition of ¹D₂ to ³F₄ and ¹G₂ to ³H₆ intra 4f electron of Tm³⁺, the yellow emissions of AlN:Sm are due to ⁴G_5/2 to the ⁶H_J (J = 5/2, 7/2, 9/2, 11/2) and the reddish emissions of AlN:Dy correspond to the ⁴F_9/2 to ⁶H_J (J = 15/2, 13/2, 11/2 and 9/2) and ⁶F_11/2 transitions.
