Phys. Rev.

The enhanced fluorescence observed from nonresonant levels at high pressures is consistent with excitation transfer from highly populated resonance levels of the 2p53d configuration. We measured excitation-transfer cross sections of 540±80 Å2, 1600±500 Å2, and 1100±200 Å2 for transfer from the 3d5→3d6, 3s1′→3s1″, and 3s1′→3s1, respectively. © 2002 The American Physical Society URL:
