Interpretation of the Third Spectrum of Gold (Au iii)

J Res Natl Bur Stand A Phys Chem. 1966 Nov-Dec;70A(6):465-466. doi: 10.6028/jres.070A.039.

Abstract

A revision of the analysis of the Au iii spectrum is presented. Of 9 energy levels considered doubtful on the basis of a recent theoretical treatment, 6 are found to be real and 3 have been rejected as incorrect. Three new energy levels have also been found in agreement with theoretical predictions.

Keywords: Corrections to analysis of Au iii; gold; spectrum of Au iii; third spectrum.
