AbstractStark broadening theory is currently operated for calculating widths and shifts of spectral lines that are needed for spectroscopic diagnostics and modeling in astrophysics, laboratory and technological plasmas. We have calculated a great number of data, obtained through the impact semiclassical perturbation theory: tables have been published for neutral atom and ion emitters, and typical temperatures, electron and ion densities. They are currently implemented in the STARK-B database which participates in the European effort within the Virtual Atomic and Molecular Data Centre. Despite of that, a great number of data are still missing. In the present paper, we revisit and compare a great number of the impact Stark widths and shifts by considering their semiclassical perturbation expressions. We also provide fitting formulae which are essential for the modeling codes of stellar atmospheres and envelopes.

ABSTRACT Stark effect is observed in many natural and artificial plasmas and is of great importance for diagnostic purposes. Since this effect alters profiles of spectral lines, it should be taken into account when assessing chemical composition of radiation sources, including stars. Copper is one of the elements which studies of stellar atmospheres deal with. To this end, UV and visible Cu lines are used. However, there is a lack of agreement between existing data on their Stark parameters. It is therefore of interest to obtain new experimental data on these lines and to compare them to previous results. In this work, we have estimated Stark widths and shifts for three blue-green lines at 5105.54, 5153.24, and 5218.20 Å (corresponding transitions are [3d104p] 2P° → [3d94s2] 2D and [3d104d] 2D → [3d104p] 2P°) observed in a ‘long-spark’ laser-induced plasma. For the first time, we have accurately estimated an impact of hyperfine splitting on the profile shapes of the studied lines taking also into account the isotope shifts. We have shown that both effects considerably influence shift and width of Cu i line at 5105.54 Å, and shifts of Cu i lines at 5153.24 and 5218.20 Å.

AbstractIn order to complete data on Stark broadening parameters for Ar I line in the visible spectrum, we determined Stark widths and shifts due to electron, proton and ionized helium impacts for nine lines (4191.0, 4259.4, 5912.1, 6043.2, 6045.0, 6752.9, 7503.9, 7514.6, 7724.2 Å), using jK coupling and semiclassical perturbation theory. The obtained results will enter the STARK-B database, which is a part of the Virtual Atomic and Molecular Data Center.

AbstractIn order to complete Stark broadening data for Ne II and O III lines, needed for analysis of stellar atmospheres, we determined the missing parameters for the broadening by collisions with protons and ionized helium for 15 Ne II and 5 O III multiplets. Also, electron, proton and ionized helium impact broadening parameters for an important Ne II multiplet in the visible part of the spectrum and for three Ne III multiplets were calculated. The obtained data will be included in the STARK-B database, which is a part of the Virtual Atomic and Molecular Data Center.

Using a semiclassical approach, we have calculated electron-, proton-, He II-, Mg II-, Si II- and Fe II-impact line widths and shifts for 10 Ne II and 6 Ne III multiplets as a function of temperature and perturber density. For Ne II temperatures are: 5,000 K; 10,000 K; 20,000 K; 30,000 K; 50,000 K and 100,000 K and perturber densities from 1015 cm-3 up to 1020 cm-3. For Ne III temperatures are: 20,000 K; 50,000 K; 100,000 K; 200,000 K; 300,000 K and 500,000 K and perturber densities from 1017 cm-3 up to 1021 cm-3. Perturbers selected here, are the main perturbers in solar and stellar atmospheres.

At low temperatures the effect of back reaction of the neutral emitter on a perturbing electron may become noticeable and consequently deviations of the electron motion from the uniform one should be taken into account. In this note we discuss some consequences of an inclusion of the curvilinear trajectories on the impact Stark broadening theory in the low temperature limit. In particular we consider a proposed improvement of the commonly used definition of the collision time, in the case of the repulsive electron-excited neutral interaction

Stark broadening parameters, full widths at half maximum (FWHM) and shifts for 13 Os II lines have been calculated. The plasma parameters are: electron density of 1017 cm-3 and temperatures from 5 000 K to 80 000 K. Calculations have been performed with the simplified modified semiempirical (SMSE) approach. The results are also used for the consideration of Strak width and shift regularities within the Os II 6s6D-6p6Do multiplet.

In this work, the Stark broadening parameters (widths and shifts) of the 2203.5 Å and 4386.5 Å Pb(II) spectral lines have been investigated and measured in laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), using a lead sample (99.999% purity). A Q-switched neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser operating at its fundamental wavelength (10 640 Å), generating pulses of 290 mJ, 7 ns of duration, and a repeat frequency of 20 Hz, has been used for the ablation of said lead sample in vacuum and in a controlled argon atmosphere. A study to understand the expansion dynamics of the lead produced plasma was performed. The spectra have been obtained and measured at different time delays of the plasma evolution in the range of 0.15–9 μs, at which the temperature and electron number density are in the ranges of 28 200–8000 K and 1.3 × 1017 to 3 × 1015 cm−3, respectively. A graphical representation of the evolution of temperature and electron number density versus 0.3 to 6.5 μs delay from the laser pulse is presented. The important effect of the different environment where the plasma expands has been pointed out. Local thermodynamic equilibrium conditions have been checked. The obtained results of the Stark widths and shifts at the different temperatures and densities of electrons have been compared with the limited data available in the literature. This study aims to obtain more accurate values for these parameters and also to establish regularities and similarities for said parameters.
