Determination of radiative lifetimes in the 3snp 1P1 sequence of Mg I using time-resolved VUV laser spectroscopy
- 1. Dept. of Physics, Lund Inst. of Tech. (Sweden)
Description
The radiative lifetimes of the states in the (n=5-8) snp 1P1 sequence of neutral magnesium were investigated using time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence. Excitation from the 3 s21S0 ground state was performed using VUV radiation, which was produced by resonant sum-difference frequency mixing in a krypton gas cell. We find τ(n=5): 54(3) ns, τ(n=6): 140(10) ns, τ(n=7): 290(20) ns, τ(n=8): 475(40) ns. These results were found to be in fair agreement with a Multi Configuration Hartree-Fock (MCHF) calculation.
