On the Application of Stark Broadening Data Determined with a Semiclassical Perturbation Approach

Abstract

The significance of Stark broadening data for problems in astrophysics, physics, as well as for technological plasmas is discussed and applications of Stark broadening parameters calculated using a semiclassical perturbation method are analyzed.

Stark Width Data for Tb II, Tb III and Tb IV Spectral Lines

“…Of course, these data may be of interest for laboratory plasma diagnostics and for investigations of laser produced plasma and lasers. A detailed analysis of the usage of published Stark broadening data was published in [19,20].…”

Special Issue on Spectral Line Shapes in Plasmas

“…Dimitrijević and Sahal-Bréchot [11] show and discuss numerous examples of such studies, where the SCP approach [8] was used. In the article of Omar et al [12], the authors use a few theoretical methods and computer simulations to calculate the shapes of a He I line and compare them to experimental line profiles, allowing inference of the plasma parameters.…”

“…Data on Stark broadening are needed for laboratory plasmas diagnostic and investigation (Konjević, 1999;Torres et al, 2006;Peláez et al, 2009), laser produced plasma analysis, modelling and diagnostics (Richou & Molitor, 1970;Gornushkin et al, 1999;Sorge et al, 2000;Seidel et al, 2001) and inertial fusion plasma (Keane et al, 1990;Griem, 1992). Stark broadening data are also useful in technology, as for example for laser welding and piercing of various metals (Dimitrijević & Sahal-Bréchot, 2014), design, investigation and improvement of effectivity of various light sources based on plasma (Wieser et al, 1997;Seidel et al, 2001), and the design and developing of lasers (Csillag & Dimitrijević, 2004;Dimitrijević & SahalBréchot, 2014). In many astrophysical plasmas Stark broadening of spectral lines is very important or at least non negligible and should be taken into account (Beauchamp et al, 1997;Popović et al, 2001;Dimitrijević, 2003;Dimitrijević & Sahal-Bréchot, 2014).…”

“…Stark broadening data are particularly important for stellar plasma research, and for analysis and synthesis of stellar spectra (Beauchamp et al, 1997;Dimitrijević & Sahal-Bréchot, 2014). In atmospheres of white dwarfs, pre white dwarf stars, and post AGB(Asymptotic Giant Branch) stars this is usually the main broadening mechanism (Tankosić et al, 2003;Milovanović et al, 2004;Simić et al, 2006;Dufour et al, 2011).…”
