B. Blagojevic et al., STARK-BROADENING OF TRIPLY IONIZED OXYGEN LINES - THE TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENCE, Physical review. E, Statistical physics, plasmas, fluids, and related interdisciplinary topics, 50(4), 1994, pp. 2986-2990
The Stark widths of the 3s S-2-(3)p (2)p degrees and 3p P-2 degrees-3d
D-2 transitions have been calculated and measured in the plasma of a
pulsed are. Electron densities in the range (2.1-6.4)X10(17) cm(-3) we
re determined from the width of the He II P-alpha line while electron
temperatures between 50 800 and 131 800 K are measured from the Boltzm
ann plot of O IV Line intensities. Our experimental O IV Stark width a
grees well with another experiment and with our semiclassical theoreti
cal results in the whole temperature range.
