Abstract

Radiative lifetimes of excited states of Zn I (3d104sns 3S1, n = 6–8; 3d104snd 3D, n = 4–7) and Zn II (3d104p 2P1/2,3/2, 4d 2D3/2,5/2, 3d105s 2S1/2) have been measured using a time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence technique. Single- or two-step excitation of atoms and ions produced by laser ablation was employed. The experimental radiative lifetimes have been compared with theoretical results obtained within a multiconfigurational relativistic Hartree–Fock approach taking core-polarization effects into account.
