چکیده

Relativistic Hartree–Fock and multiconfigurational Dirac–Fock calculations of atomic structure and transition rates have been carried out in trebly ionized lanthanum (La3+, Z = 57). The calculations have to cope with configuration interaction effects but also with the very complex situation of the collapse of the 4f wave function. The calculations are compared to experimental data obtained with beam-foil spectroscopy in the extreme ultraviolet, at ion energies that favour the production of the spectrum La IV. Besides lines known from sliding spark discharges, many more lines are observed that have not yet been identified. Time-resolved measurements yield three level lifetimes in La IV that agree roughly with the results of our own calculations. PACS Nos: 32.30.Jc, 32.70.Cs, 34.50.Fa, 31.15.ag, 31.15.xr Résumé : Des calculs Hartree–Fock relativistes de structures atomiques et de taux de transition et des calculs à l’aide de l’approche multiconfigurationnelle de Dirac–Fock ont été effectués dans le lanthane trois fois ionisé (La3+, Z = 57). Ces calculs doivent prendre en compte l’interaction de configuration mais aussi la situation très complexe associée à la contraction de l’orbitale 4f. Les calculs ont été comparés aux données expérimentales obtenues à l’aide de la spectroscopie faisceau-lame dans l’ultraviolet lointain à des énergies qui favorisent l’émission du spectre de La IV. Outre les raies spectrales connues à partir des spectres d’étincelles glissantes, beaucoup de raies supplémentaires ont été observées qui n’ont pas encore été identifiées. Les mesures résolues dans le temps ont permis d’obtenir trois durées de vie dans La IV qui sont en accord satisfaisant avec les résultats de nos calculs. [Traduit par la Rédaction]

SELECTED LIFETIME AND OSCILLATOR STRENGTH MEASUREMENTS IN Si II

We have remeasured the lifetimes of the 3s24s and levels in Si II using beam foil spectro3s25s 2S1@2 scopic techniques. Measured values for the lifetimes and oscillator strengths derived from them are presented and compared with previous measurements and theoretical calculations. Agreement with recent theoretical calculations is now quite good : for 3s24s it is excellent and for 3s25s it is sat...

Design of dual scattering foil for 6 to 20 MeV electron beam radiotherapy

The electron beam from the linear accelerator is of size ~ 2 mm, whereas the size of the electron beam profile required for actual treatment is usually larger than 2 2 cm up to 30 30 cm at the iso-center. Therefore, scattering foils were optimized and simulated using FLUKA code. The primar scattering foil as kept niform thickness y w u , whereas the secondary foil was of Gaussian shape with var...

Length control and sharpening of atomic force microscope carbon nanotube tips assisted by an electron beam

We report on the precise positioning of a carbon nanotube on an atomic force microscope (AFM) tip. By using a nanomanipulator inside a scanning electron microscope, an individual nanotube was retrieved from a metal foil by the AFM tip. The electron beam allows us to control the nanotube length and to sharpen its end. The performance of these tips for AFM imaging is demonstrated by improved late...

Observation of beam-induced changes in the polarization of Balmer- alpha radiation emitted following beam-tilted-foil transmission.

Measurements of the circular polarization of Balmer-u radiation emitted by excited hydrogen atoms, following the transmission of (20—50)-keV protons through thin, tilted amorphous carbon foils, exhibit markedly unexpected behavior as a function of exposure of the foil to the proton beam. Specifically, the circular polarization changes from an initially well understood tilt-angle dependence to a...

Measurements and predictions of the 6 s 6 p 1 , 3 P 1 lifetimes in the Hg isoelectronic sequence

Experimental and theoretical values for the lifetimes of the 6s6pP1 and P1 levels in the Hg isoelectronic sequence are examined in the context of a data-based isoelectronic systematization. New beam-foil measurements for lifetimes in Pb III and Bi IV are reported and included in a critical evaluation of the available database. These results are combined with ab initio theoretical calculations a...
