The broadening and shift of four spectral lines arising from the 2p53p-2p56s transitions of neon emitted from a low pressure glow discharge in pure neon and a neonhelium mixture have been measured. The values of the pressure broadening and shift coefficients are determined. The results are interpreted in terms of the impact theory assuming the Lennard-Jones potential. Results obtained in this work indicate that the Lennard-Jones potential cannot describe adequately the broadening and shift of the spectral lines under investigation.
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.
