Abstract
Radiative lifetimes of 17 excited levels of Nb I, in the energy range 27 400–47 700 cm −1 5s6p o 4 F ◦ 3/2,5/2,7/2,9/2), have been measured. For 15 of these levels, the lifetimes are obtained for the first time. The lifetimes were measured using the time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence technique and the experiments are complemented by a theoretical investigation using a relativistic Hartree–Fock method including core polarization. By combining the experimental lifetimes and the calculated branching fractions, we obtain transition probabilities for the individual de-excitation channels from the investigated levels.
