In a previous paper, we reported on a complete optogalvanic (OG) spectrum of a discharge burning in a La–Ar gas mixture, in the spectral range 5610–6110 Å (17,851 to 16,364 cm−1). Now we are able to communicate further new energy levels, found via searching for laser-induced fluorescence lines when exciting unclassified lines from the OG spectrum. We were able to find 17 new levels, and for two further levels, the line list has extended. With the help of these 19 levels, we could classify 132 spectral lines.

We report on a complete optogalvanic spectrum of a discharge burning in a La-Ar gas mixture, in the spectral range 5610–6110 Å (17,851 to 16,364 cm−1). About 1900 overlapping laser scans, each between 1 and 1.5 cm−1 wide, were necessary to cover this range. The resolution of the spectra is limited by the Doppler width of the spectral features to about 0.03 cm−1 (or ca. 0.01 Å) and is comparable with a Fourier-transform spectrum, but the sensitivity is much higher. Indeed, we could find more than 1800 lines, from which about 800 could be classified as transitions between known energy levels. The main focus of the investigations was to discover previously unknown energy levels by means of excitation of unclassified spectral features.

The spectrum of Zn II has been extended to complete the configuration 3d94s(3D)4p′ and 3d94s(1D)4p″. The configurations 3d109f, 3d1010f, and 3d94s(3D)5s′ have been added and a number of levels of the configurations 3d94s(3D)4d′, 3d94s(1D)4d″, and 3d94s(3D)6s′ have been tentatively established. Our list of Zn II lines contains 363 classified lines.Improved wavelength measurements have necessitated a revision of our earlier report on the spectrum of Zn IV. All the energy levels have been shifted slightly with respect to the ground state doublet 3d92D. In addition, 3 of 17 even levels and 10 of 43 odd levels have been changed. The new energy-level scheme results in the classification of 329 spectral lines as compared with 200 lines in the previous report.

Experimental investigations of Pr I spectral lines were performed by means of laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy, using a hollow cathode discharge lamp as source of free atoms. The wavelengths for the laser excitation were found by the help of a highly resolved Fourier transform spectrum. Altogether we excited 236 unclassified lines and analysed their hyperfine structure, which led, together with the measured wavelengths of the observed fluorescence lines, to the discovery of 32 new even parity and 38 odd parity fine structure energy levels. These levels allow to classify more than 670 spectral lines of Pr I. The wave number calibrated Fourier transform spectrum allowed us to determine the energies of most of these newly discovered levels with an uncertainty of 0.015 cm-1. Angular momenta, parity, and magnetic and electric hyperfine interaction constants (A and B) of the new levels were also determined.

We report the discovery of about 140 new energy levels of the neutral praseodymium atom, found by means of laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy. Their energy has been determined with an uncertainty of 0.010 cm−1 using a wave number calibrated Fourier-transform spectrum.

Tellurium spectra were recorded on a 3 m normal incidence vacuum spectrograph in the spectroscopy laboratory of St. Francis Xavier University using a triggered spark light source. The spectrum of the singly ionized tellurium atom was investigated in the wavelength region 746–1838 Å using Hartree–Fock configuration interaction calculations involving 5s25p3, 5s5p4, 5s25p2 (5d + 6d + 7d + 8d + 6s + 7s + 8s + 9s) configurations. Earlier analysis by Handrup and Mack has been revised, and 27 new energy levels have been added, to complete the 5s25p3, 5s25p2 (5d + 6d + 6s + 7s) configurations. Now five levels of the ground-state configuration and 78 of the excited configurations are known. Two hundred and nineteen spectral lines have been classified in this spectrum. Least squares fitted parametric calculations were used for the final interpretation and LS percentage compositions. The wavelength accuracy of our measurement for unblended and sharp lines is ±0.005 Å.

A capillary pulsed-discharge and a theta-pinch were used to record Kr spectra in the region of 330–4800 Å. A set of 168 transitions of these spectra were classified for the first time. We extended the analysis to twenty-five new energy levels belonging to 3s23p24d, 3s23p25d even configurations. We calculated weighted transition probabilities (gA) for all of the experimentally observed lines and lifetimes for new energy levels using a relativistic Hartree–Fock method, including core-polarization effects.
