Abstract
Measurements are reported for the lifetimes of the 6p P-2(1/2,3/2) 6d D-2(3/2,5/2), 7S S-2(1/2), 7p P-2(1/2,3/2), 7d D-2(5/2), and 5f F-2(5/ 2,7/2) levels in Tl III, made using beam-foil excitation. Theoretical calculations are also presented to elucidate conditions of configurati on interaction exhibited by the measurements. In addition, values for the measured 6p lifetimes in the Au sequence are combined with theoret ical calculations of resonance transitions to hi her levels to specify the ground-state dipole polarizabilities for Au I, Hg II, Tl III, Pb IV, and Bi V.
