Jack Sugar, Victor Kaufman, and William L. Rowan, "Spectra of the Si i isoelectronic sequence from Cu xvi to Mo xxix," J. Opt. Soc. Am. B 7, 152-158 (1990)
Si-like spectra of Cu to Mo have been observed in tokamak-generated plasmas, and Cu to As in laser-produced plasmas. Wavelengths in the range of 86 to 300 Å were recorded photographically with a 2.2-m grazing-incidence spectrograph on the tokamak, and a 10.7-m grazing-incidence spectrograph for the laser plasmas. Wavelength accuracy is estimated to be ±0.005 Å. The transition arrays 3s23p2−3s3p3 and 3s23p2−3s23p3d were identified. Classifications were established by comparison with Hartree–Fock calculations of wavelengths and relative intensities along isoelectronic sequences. Spectra of Rb and Sr were not observed, but interpolated values of wavelengths for these ions are derived from the rest of the data. Ground configuration intervals known from magnetic dipole transitions are compared with Dirac–Fock calculations to predict unknown values and to correct misidentifications.

Wavelengths are in angstroms; those given in parentheses are predicted values derived from the HFR calculations and the O − C curves. Intensities are visually estimated from the plate blackening. The symbol bl indicates a blend of unresolved or close lines; m indicates that the line is masked by an impurity line.

Wavelengths >2000 Å are values in air. Newly predicted values are preceded by the symbol *. The rest are observed values from Ref. 15 or as indicated.
Value in Ref. 15 of 1872.0(3) Å is replaced by better fitting measurement of 1871.3(2) Å in Ref. 23.
Incorrect value in Ref. 15 of 2539.7(3) Å is replaced by new predicted wavelength.
Incorrect value in Ref. 15 of 1503.7(3) Å is replaced by new predicted wavelength.
Incorrect value in Ref. 15 of 813.1(3) Å is replaced by new predicted wavelength.
Incorrect value in Ref. 15 of 1195.3(2) Å is replaced by new predicted wavelength.
From Ref. 16.
Incorrect value in Ref. 15 of 639.6(3) Å is replaced by new predicted wavelength.
This value was derived from analysis of E1 lines in present study.
Value in Ref. 15 of 1461.8(2) Å is replaced by more accurate measurement from Ref. 22.
Incorrect value in Ref. 15 of 927.7(3) Å is replaced by new predicted wavelength.
Incorrect value in Ref. 15 of 325.3(3) Å is replaced by new predicted wavelength.
