The dependences of electron‐ and proton‐impact Stark width on the upper‐level ionization potential within different series of neutral magnesium spectral lines have been evaluated and discussed. Dependences similar to those previously found for the electron‐impact contribution were also obtained for the proton‐impact contribution to the Stark broadening parameters. The emphasis is on the fine‐structure influence on the studied Stark parameter dependences. The relations found can be used in both cases for the prediction of new Stark broadening data, thus avoiding much more complicated procedures.

Abstract:The dependences of Stark width on the upper-level ionization potential within different series of the neutral beryllium spectral lines have been studied. The dependences previously observed for electron impact contribution to the Stark widths were also obtained for the proton impact contribution. The emphasis is on the fine structure influence on the studied Stark parameter dependences. The influence of temperature on the dependences of Stark width parameters has been demonstrated. The relations found can be used in both cases for prediction of new Stark broadening data, thus avoiding much more complicated procedures.

Dependences of electron and proton impact Stark width on the upper level ionization potential within different series of the neutral calcium spectral lines have been evaluated and discussed. The similar dependences previously found for the electron impact contribution were also obtained for the proton impact contribution to the Stark broadening. The emphasis is on the term structure influence on the studied Stark width dependences. The influence of the lower transition level and transition term is higher at low temperatures. After establishing these dependences, predictions were made for Stark widths of neutral calcium spectral lines not measured experimentally or calculated theoretically until now.

Stark width experimental and theoretical data of neutral helium spectral lines have been used to demonstrate their dependence on the upper-level ionization potential within different spectral series. The emphasis is on the term describing structure influence on the studied Stark-width dependences. After establishing these dependences, predictions were made for electron, proton and ionized helium impact contributions to the Stark widths of neutral helium spectral lines that have not been measured experimentally or calculated theoretically until now (transitions from high levels of He I). The accuracy of the data obtained is comparable with the accuracies of the experimental and theoretical values used in establishing the dependences.

We have investigated Stark line broadening within the spectral series of potassium-like and copper-like emitters, both separately and together. The analysis was performed for fixed values of electronic density Ne = 1022 m−3 and temperature $T = 100\, 000$ K. Algorithms made for fast data processing also serve for temperature and density normalization of data. Relations obtained using the regularity-based analysis enable predictions of Stark widths for transitions that have not yet been calculated or measured. Results of present investigation can be used for quality control of available Stark width data.
