Abstract

The electric quadrupole transition 3p63d10 1S0 3p53d104f (3/2, 7/1) J=2 has been observed in the spectra of Ta xlvi, W xlvii, Re xlviii, Pt li, Au lii, and Hg liii. The excited-level populations of Ni-like gold are calculated by means of a collisional-radiative model and show that the intensity ratio of the electric dipole 3p3/2-4d5/2 and electric quadrupole 3p3/2-4f7/2 resonance transitions is sensitive to density in the range 1019 1021 cm-3, in qualitative agreement with the present observations.
