Time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence lifetime measurements and theoretical transition probabilities in Tb III
Author
Summary, in English
Lifetimes of four short-lived levels belonging to the 4f(8)(F-7)6p configuration of Tb III have been measured using a two-step excitation time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence technique. They agree quite well with multiconfigurational relativistic Hartree-Fock calculations performed with inclusion of core-polarization effects. Using the experimental lifetimes and the theoretical branching fractions, a set of transition probabilities has been deduced for this ion.
