Spectra of highly-ionized silicon, aluminium, sulfur and argon ions produced by the beam-foil technique have been analysed in the 5-40 nm wavelength range. Numerous transitions belonging to n = 3-4, 4-5 and 3-5 transitions arrays in the beryllium-like spectra Al X, Si XI, S XIII and Ar XV were observed for the first time. The assignment of spectral lines was corroborated by comparison along the isoelectronic sequence.
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.
