Ground configuration of the phosphorus sequnce from copper to molybdenum

Journal Article · · J. Opt. Soc. Am. B: Opt. Phys.; (United States)
The energy-level structure of the 3s/sup 2/3p/sup 3/ configuration of the phosphorus sequnce ions Mo XXVIII and Zr XXVI has been determined from magnetic-dipole line wavelengths and emissivities measured in the Princeton Large Torus tokamak discharges. The new measurements have caused some changes in the tentative assignments reported earlier for this sequence, especially for the /sup 4/S/sub 3/2/--/sup 2/D/sub 3/2/ transitions. Isoelectronic interpolations together with some experimental confirmations in the Se XX and Ge XVIII spectra now permit a reasonably accurate and complete reconstuction of this configuration from Z = 42 to previously established Z< or =28 elements. The measured wavelengths and relative intensities are in substantial agreement with recent semiempirical evaluations and ab initio calculations.
