“…On the other hand, it was agreed by these British observers that the mandarins themselves were also not free from concerns about their own self‐preservation. Their offices and lives were totally subject to the will of the Chinese emperor, inasmuch as ‘not only the more important measures of government, but the most trifling details of office, depend for their execution upon the supposed irresistibility of the imperial power.’ In particular, these British visitors were informed that ‘in the event of any suspicion of a collusion with foreigners’, the emperor's ‘single word was sufficient to consign them [the mandarins] to death’. For the members of the Amherst embassy this explained the sharp contrast between the attendant officers’ extremely reserved manner in the vicinity of Beijing and the good temper they manifested during the rest of their time with the embassy.…”

The Amherst Embassy and British Discoveries in China

The Amherst embassy to China has long been viewed as a major diplomatic failure in Britain's early relations with China. This article concentrates on the greatly overlooked aspect of the Amherst mission: the delegation's discoveries in China after the official proceedings were concluded. Since the embassy was given unprecedented freedom of movement during its four‐month return journey from Beijing to Canton, British observers were able to explore the interior of China and to communicate more fully with the Chinese government and people than ever before. As a consequence, the Amherst embassy not only provided valuable first‐hand observations which increased and improved Britain's knowledge of China, but developed the view that the Qing government was the chief obstacle to the progress of Chinese civilization and to the general welfare of the Chinese people. These important perceptions laid the foundation for future changes in Sino‐British relations and led, indirectly, to the outbreak of the Opium War.

“…The spectroscopy of highly charged ions is of considerable interest in both pure atomic physics and applications such as hot-plasma diagnostics, high temperature astrophysical plasma, [11][12][13] x-ray laser development and for the study of high-field relativistic and quantum electrodynamic (QED) effects. Transitions in such ions are used to find temperature and density distributions and in calculating stellar envelope opacities.…”

Extreme ultraviolet and soft x-ray spectral lines in Rb XXIX

et al. 2016

An extensive theoretical set of atomic data for Rb XXIX in a wide range with L-shell electron excitations to the M-shell has been reported. We have computed energy levels for the lowest 113 fine structure levels of Rb XXIX. The fully relativistic multiconfigurational Dirac-Fock method (MCDF) within the framework of Dirac-Coulomb Hamiltonian taking quantum electrodynamics (QED) and Breit corrections into account has been adopted for calculations. Radiative data are reported for electric dipole (E1), magnetic dipole (M1), electric quadrupole (E2), and magnetic quadrupole (M2) transitions from the ground level, although calculations have been performed for a much larger number of levels. To assess the accuracy of results, we performed analogous calculations using flexible atomic code (FAC). Comparisons are made with existing available results and a good agreement has been achieved. Most of the wavelengths calculated lie in the soft x-ray (SXR) region. Lifetimes for all 113 levels have also been provided for the first time. Additionally, we have provided the spectra for allowed transitions from n = 2 to n = 3 within the x-ray region and also compared our SXR photon wavelengths with experimentally recognized wavelengths. We hope that our results will be beneficial in fusion plasma research and astrophysical applications.
