Stark broadening measurements of Xe III spectral lines

Abstract

This work reports measured Stark widths of doubly ionized xenon lines. Pulsed arc was used as a plasma source. Measured electron densities and temperatures were in the ranges of (0.2 – 1.6) × 1023 m−3 and 18 300–25 500 K, respectively. Stark halfwidths of lines from 6s–6p, 6s–4f and 5d–6p transitions have been measured and compared with available experimental and theoretical data.
