The beam-foil technique was used to measure the lifetimes of the 5d105f, 5g, 6d, 6h, 7p, 7d, 8s and 5d96s6p [2]0, [3]0, [6]0, [14]0, [17]0 levels of Pb IV. Correlated decay-curve analyses were used to correct for the effects of cascading in the case of the 5d105f, 5g, 6d, and 7p levels. The numerical Coulomb approximation was used to calculate comparison values for the 5d10nl levels. The need for a more rigorous calculation for specific levels is discussed.

Foil Technique

The techniques of beam-foil spectroscopy are applied to obtain measurements of the lifetimes of the 6s6p1P1, 3P1, 6s6d1D2, 3D1, 3D2, and 3D3 levels of Hg I and the 6p2P1/2, 2P3/2, 6d2D3/2, 2D5/2, and 7s2S1/2 levels of Hg II. The energy loss sustained by the ions in passing through the carbon foil is determined using an extended Doppler-shift technique. Constrained curve-fitting and arbitrarily normalized decay curve analyses are used to overcome problems caused by blending between transitions from the 6s6d1D2 and 3D1 levels of Hg I. The f values obtained from the resonance transitions are 1.14 ± 0.04 (Hg I) and 0.648 ± 0.022 (Hg II), in agreement with the trends found previously for higher Z ions in the Hg I and Au I isoelectronic sequences.

Good Agreement

Beam-foil intensity decay curves for transitions in the wavelength range from 900 to 2200 Å are used to derive the lifetimes of the 6s6p1P1 and 3P1 6s6d1D2, 6s7s1S0, and 6p21D2 levels of Pb III, and the 6p2P1/2 and 2P3/2, 6d2D3/2 and 2D5/2, 7s2S1/2, and 5d96s22D3/2 levels of Pb IV, arbitrarily normalized decay curve (ANDC) analyses being used for the 6s6p and 6p levels. In the case of the two 6s6p levels studied in Pb III, good agreement is found with a recent calculation in which a polarization model accounts for valence–core correlation. However, the agreement between the lifetimes observed for the 6p levels in Pb IV and a similar, earlier calculation is only fair.

We have used the beam-foil technique in the wavelength region between 3500 and 4500 Å to measure the lifetimes of 10 terms in F II having the configuration 2p3nl, and also to demonstrate the usefulness of the ANDC method for overcoming the effects of cascade repopulation in these measurements. Our results are in good agreement with theory and with other experimental values.

Transition probability determinations are reported for the 2s2 1S - 2s2p 1P transition in Be I and B II, based on lifetime measurements made by beam-foil excitation. The lifetimes were extracted by the ANDC method, which incorporates cascade-related decay curves into the analysis of the primary decay curve, thus accounting for the effects of cascade repopulation. The results are of higher precision than earlier measurements and improve the agreement with recent theoretical calculations. PACS No.: 32.70Cs
