The spectrum of tellurium was recorded in the 300^1230 Ð region on a 3-m normal incidence spectrograph using a triggered spark source. The new data lead to the revision and extension of the earlier work in Te V spectrum. Out to the 36 earlier published levels, the values of 26 levels have been con-¢rmed and ten levels have been rejected. Twenty additional levels have been identi¢ed, almost all of them are belonging to the doubly excited 5p6s and 5p5d con¢gurations. Hartree^Fock (HF) and least-square-¢tting (LSF) parametric calculations were carried out to interpret the spectrum. One hundred and sixty (160) lines have been classi¢ed.
The spectrum of tellurium was photographed on a 3 m normal incidence spectrograph in the 300-2100 Å wavelength region using a triggered spark source. Three configurations, namely 5p3, 5s5p5d and 5s5p6s, of trebly ionized tellurium (Te IV), all involving two-electron excitations, were investigated. Seven out of ten levels reported previously were confirmed, some with a change of configuration assignment, the J-value of one level was changed from (3/2) to (5/2) and two levels were rejected. The new observations have resulted in establishing 35 out of 36 energy levels belonging to these three configurations. Least-squares fitted and Hartree-Fock calculations involving multi-configuration interactions were carried out to interpret the observed spectrum. 155 new lines have been classified in the Te IV spectrum.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
