Abstract
By tuning the $4p$ level of excited ${\mathrm{Zn}}^{*}$ $3{d}^{9}4{s}^{2}4p$ impurities through the conduction-band bottom of alkali metals, we show that the rate at which the excited-impurity configuration decays into conduction-band excitations is insensitive to the extent of $4p$ admixture into the host conduction band. However, the optical matrix elements change markedly with the degree of valence mixing.
