J. Granzow et al., EXPERIMENTAL TRANSITION-PROBABILITIES OF THE INTERCOMBINATION LINE 1S(2)2S(2) 1SO-1S(2)2S3P 3P1(0) IN BE-LIKE IONS OF NA THROUGH SI, Physica scripta. T, 49(2), 1994, pp. 148-153
The decay of the 1s(2)2s3pP-3(0, 1, 2)o levels in Be-like ions of Na,
Mg, Al and Si has been investigated using the beam-foil method. The me
an wavelengths of the transitions 1s(2)2p2P-3(0, 1, 2)-1s(2)2s3p P-3(0
, 1, 2)o and the lifetimes of the 1s2(2)s3pP-3(0, 1, 2)o levels have b
een measured. An intercomparison of these lifetimes yields the transit
ion probability of the intercombination line 1s(2)2s2S-1(0)-1s(2)2s3pP
-3(1)o. The results are (3.45 +/- 0.73) 10(9) s-1 in Na VIII, (5.55 +/
- 0.96) 10(9) s-1 in Mg IX, (1.21 +/- 0.24) 10(10) s-1 in Al X and (2.
50 +/- 0.54) 10(10) s-1 in Si XI.
