Abstract

Abstract Optical excitation functions of Ne I, Ne II, and Ne III spectral lines in the wavelength range of 400 - 800 Å have been measured with electron energies from 0 to 500 eV. The excited ions are formed by electron impact in a single collision process. The (2p)4 3s levels of Ne II become populated via autoionizing states of the neon atom. The excitation functions of the neon resonance lines at 736 and 744 Å are strongly pressure dependent due to radiation imprisonment.
