Extended analysis of the six-times ionized xenon, Xe VII

The spectrum of six-times ionized xenon, Xe VII, has been studied in the 270–6,500 ? using a pulsed discharge. 110 new classified lines are reported. Ten levels belonging to the odd parity configurations and four belonging to the even configurations have been determined. To obtain the energy parameters Hartree-Fock relativistic calculations were used. Least-squares parametric calculation has been carried out to study the fit between experimental and theoretical values. Received 11 December 2000     

A critical compilation and extended analysis of the Ne V spectrum

Previous works devoted to the Ne V spectrum are very fragmentary and yield a rather controversial picture of this ion. A lot of unidentified lines are still reported in these multiple studies. In the present paper, Hartree-Fock calculations and least-squares fits over the whole set of the available data (including the most recent ones) have been performed. As a result, a comprehensive view of the Ne V spectrum is presented. 10 new energy levels and 40 newly classified lines are proposed. An improved value of the ionisation potential of Ne V is also proposed. Received 19 February 1999 and Received in final form 10 June 1999     

Isotope shift studies in the first spectrum of dysprosium: confirmation of assignments to and new assignments to configuration

Isotope shifts (-) are reported for 221 spectral lines of the neutral dysprosium atom (Dy I) in the region 470-565 nm using a photoelectric recording Fabry-Perot spectrometer and highly enriched isotopic samples of and excited in liquid-nitrogen-cooled hollow-cathode lamps. Isotope shift data for 173 of these lines are being reported for the first time. Using the isotope shift data, term isotope shifts (-) have been evaluated for 99 even- and 68 odd-parity energy levels of Dy I. New values have been obtained for 24 odd and 36 even levels. These new values have enabled us to check some of the existing tentative assignments and also to suggest configuration assignments to a few unassigned energy levels. The earlier tentative assignments of 4 f10 5 d 6 p configuration to many high odd levels lying above have been presently confirmed. We could assign the 4f^95d6s6p configuration to 24 unassigned even levels. Received: 3 August 1998     

New energy levels and transitions for the 4s4p5p configuration in Kr VI

The spectrum of five-time ionized krypton, Kr VI, was recorded in the 240-2600 Å wavelength range, resulting in 61 new classified lines as transitions between levels of configurations 4p³, 4s²5p, 4s4p4d, 4s4p5s and 4s4p5p. All the 18 energy levels belonging to 4s4p5p configuration except one were determined. Eight new energy level values corresponding to configurations 4s4p4f and 4p24d, supported by 26 new classified lines were also determined and used in the interpretation of the observed 4s4p5p configuration. The experimental data were obtained from a capillary-discharge tube and theta pinch light sources. Multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock calculations with relativistic corrections and a least-squares fitted parametric calculation has been carried out.     

Applications of high resolution spectroscopy to the identification of far-infrared laser emission from optically pumped13CH3OH

High-resolution infrared (IR) and far infrared (FIR) Fourier transform absorption spectra have been employed to investigate assignments of FIR laser lines reported from optically-pumped¹³CH₃OH. The spectroscopic measurements are used in conjunction with the reported IR pump and FIR laser frequencies to form closed combination loops for several systems, serving to confirm the assignments and in some cases to improve the accuracy of the FIR laser frequencies. Frequency predictions from combination differences are also presented for a number of potential new FIR laser lines.     

The Ne II spectrum

Spectra of neon-filled hollow cathode discharge lamps were observed by means of high-resolution Fourier-transform spectroscopy (FTS) covering the region from vacuum ultraviolet to near infrared. By combining these new measurements with results of other FTS and grating spectroscopy observations, we compiled a complete list of approximately 1700 spectral lines of Ne II covering the range from 324 ? to 130000 ?. All known energy levels of Ne II were derived from this line list with improved accuracy. The newly optimized energy levels were used to derive a set of Ritz wavelength standards in the vacuum ultraviolet that are in good agreement with the previously used data. An improved classification of energy levels was made with the help of parametric calculations, and the existing controversy in the naming of strongly mixed levels was resolved.

Electron-impact induced fluorescence for EUV spectrometer–detector calibration

EUV-Spectra of electron-impact induced fluorescence from rare gases were recorded for an impact energy of 3.5 keV intending their application in the first step for spectrometer wavelength scale calibrations. The spectra are in the investigated range of 165–314 nm in good agreement with previously measured and calculated spectra. Nearly all observed lines could be identified including 196 new lines. 183 lines mainly for krypton and xenon could not be identified. The spectra are presented and discussed. A compendium of 1670 lines and their identification is added as supplementary tables. The spectra show a number of strong lines which are well suited for spectrometer wavelength scale calibrations and once their intensity relation is deduced can be used for a sensitivity determination of a spectrometer–detector combination as described in the introductory and experimental sections of the paper.     

Energy levels and spectral lines of Ne VII

All experimental data on Ne VII, including previously unpublished beam-foil spectroscopy data, have been compiled and critically evaluated. More than a hundred spectral lines have been newly identified. For 40 transitions, the previous identifications have been revised. These revisions resolved all existing contradictions between previously published interpretations of the spectrum. An optimized level scheme has been derived from the total list of observed lines. About a hundred new energy levels have been found, including several highly excited hydrogenic levels. Based on these newly determined levels, as well as on the analysis of theoretical data, the ionization potential has been newly determined with improved confidence.

A new analysis of the ν2 fundamental band of H2O^＋＊

This paper reports that the absorption spectra of H2O^＋ have been measured by tunable mid-infrared diode laser spectroscopy in the spectral range of 1100-1380 cm^-1. The H2O＋ ions are generated in an AC glow discharge of the gaseous mixtures of H2O/He and detected with the velocity modulation technique. Forty new lines are assigned to the ν2 fundamental band of H2O^＋ （X^2B1）. The observed lines together with other data published previously are fitted to the standard effective Hamiltonian of an asymmetric top, yielding a set of improved rotational constants, spin-rotation constants and their quartic and sextic centrifugal distortion constants for the ν2=1 vibrational state of H2O＋.     

Improved molecular constants for the and states of NaH

Improved molecular constants for the and states of the NaH molecule are presented. NaH molecules are produced by reactive scattering of H and Na₂ in a crossed beam experiment. High vibrational levels (6 9) of the NaH molecules are predominantly populated. Their excitation spectrum in the range has been measured using a new variant of Doppler spectroscopy. The transition frequencies involving the vibrational levels 2 8 in the and 6 9 in the state have been determined with an accuracy of better than . Using also previously published data a new set of molecular constants for the and state is derived. In particular, the vibrational dependence of the rotational constants B, D and H as well as some of v”-v' band origins for and is determined. The transition frequencies measured here or published previously are reproduced by these new coefficients with an accuracy of 0.1 cm^-1 [rms value] with a maximum deviation of 0.4 cm^-1. New RKR potential energy curves have been calculated up to the turning points of the levels v” = 9 in the state and v' = 25 in the state. Received 21 August 1999
