Theoretical and experimental electron collisions broadening parameters for several Sc II spectral lines of industrial and astrophysical interest

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Electron collision broadening parameters of 9 singly ionized scandium spectral lines (and 1 neutral scandium spectral line) were experimentally measured in laser-induced breakdown experiments using a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser focused on Pb-Sc alloy samples. Furthermore, calculations of these parameters were performed for 56 singly ionized scandium spectral lines in the semi-empirical Griem approach using the Gaunt factors proposed by Van Regemorter and those proposed by Douglas H. Sampson. • Stark broadening measurements of nine spectral lines of single-ionized scandium and one spectral line of neutral scandium. • Calculations of the Stark broadening parameters, using the procedure suggested by Sampson to obtain the Gaunt factors, for 56 Sc II II spectral lines. • Calculations of the Stark broadening parameters, using the procedure suggested by Regemorter to obtain the Gaunt factors, for 56 Sc II II spectral lines. • Data new in the bibliography.
