Spectra of Rubidium-like Pd X-Sn XIV Ions

摘要

Palladium, silver, and cadmium spectra excited in a low-inductive vacuum spark have been recorded on a vacuum grazing-incidence spectrograph with a grating of 3600 lines/mm and 3 m in radius, in the range 120-350 A. The 4p~(6)4d-(4p~(6)5p + 4p~(6)4f + 4p~(5)4d~(2)) transitions in rubidium-like Pd X-Cd XII spectra have been investigated. Twenty two new spectral lines have been identified from the Dirac-Fock and Hartree-Fock calculations and the known lines were measured with high accuracy. The fine-structure intervals for the 4p~(6)4d ~(2)D ground state and the energies of six, seven, and ten energy levels of excited configurations in Pd X, Ag XI, and Cd XII, respectively, were determined. On the basis of the analysis of isoelectronic regularities in the position of the energy levels, the previous identifications for the In XIII and Sn XIV spectra were refined.
