Stark shifts and transition probabilities in the Ne II spectrum

Abstract

Stark shifts (d) and transition probabilities of the spontaneous emission (Einstein's A values) of forty two singly charged neon (Ne II) ion spectral lines have been measured in a linear, low pressure, pulsed are at 35300 K electron temperature and 1.83 × 1023 m-3 electron density. Transition probabilities have been obtained using the relative line intensity ratio (RLIR) method. Stark shift values have also been calculated, using the semiclassical perturbation formalism (SCPF). The measured and calculated shift values and the measured A values have been compared to the existing data taken from available data sources.
