Measured Stark widths and shifts of NII, NIII and NIV spectral lines

Abstract

Stark parameters (widths and shifts) of eight singly, seven doubly and five triply ionized nitrogen spectral lines have been measured in linear pulsed, low pressure, arc discharge in a nitrogen plasma at a 54 000 K electron temperature and a 2.8 1023 m-3 electron density. The measured values have been compared to the existing experimental and calculated data.
