New terms of the 5 <i>d</i> 86 <i>s</i> 2and 5 <i>d</i> 86 <i>s</i> 6 <i>p</i> configurations of the spectrum of Hg III

Abstract

Abstract The J = 0 terms of the 5d8 6s2 configurations have been located and two others have been revised, so that all nine terms are now established. Eleven new terms of 5d8 6s 6p are reported. The new terms and several previously reported by Johns are supported by observations of isotope shifts.
