The photoabsorption spectrum of an indium laser produced plasma

Abstract

The photoabsorption spectrum of In II has been recorded in the 18-33 eV region using the dual laser plasma (DLP) technique. Transitions from the 4d105s2 ground state dominate the In II spectrum with some contribution from the metastable 3P2, 3P1 and 3P0 levels of the excited 4d105s5p configuration also observed. Transitions were identified by comparison with values obtained from multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock calculations.
