Excitation of transitions terminating at the 4f 12(3 H)5d6s 2(6,3/2) levels of the thulium atom

The excitation of transitions terminating at the 4f ¹²(³ H)5d6s ²(6,3/2) levels of the thulium atom are studied experimentally. Seventy-five cross sections of the TmI spectral lines are measured at an excitation electron energy of 50 eV. Five optical excitation functions are recorded in the electron energy range of 0–200 eV.
