Preface

Between 2000 and 2005, I visited Japan on several occasions. I worked together with Prof. Kawaguchi on a wide range of projects, one of which was a project focused on the coupling of a high-resolution continuous Fourier Transform interferometer Bruker IFS 120 with pulse laser or pulse discharge sources. In Japan, we used a solid-state Nd:YAG laser on its second harmonic frequency (512 nm) and later, back in Prague, an excimer ArF laser (193 nm). We tested the data acquisition using an SX processor, later using a simpler programmable FPGA system that, in combination with the interferometer, governed the data collection in the proper positions of the moving mirror and their subsequent storage. Hence, we were successful in the construction of a device that added a third dimension—time—to the classic highly resolved spectra. The solution to the acquisition problem was based on the idea of fast data collection, with large amounts of time-shifted data being collected from the detector instead of one single signal. Using this procedure, a set of time-shifted spectra can be obtained, with a laser or discharge pulse placed in the centre. This system creates a unique package of spectra containing information about what happens to the sample and its surface before, during and after the laser or discharge pulse. This system allows us to monitor events that were previously unobservable because of their short lifetime during the fast process of deexcitation after the pulse initiation. Together with Prof. Kawaguchi, we have constructed two unique systems for two equal interferometers, one at the Okayama University, Japan, and the other in Prague at the J. Heyrovský Institute of Physical Chemistry. This book summarizes a series of studies related to noble gases. Some of them have already been published and some are newly introduced. This compilation of measured spectral lines includes some ranges where the spectral information is, so far, completely absent. These are mainly spectra between 5–12 lm where we have successfully measured transitions between highly excited Rydberg states of neutral

Introduction

Spectra of the noble gases are among the most widely studied, because they relate to a wide variety of applications. Noble gases commonly appear as inert gases in many laboratory spectral calibration sources, in different types of discharges, astrophysical spectra, emission sources used for photochemistry and in plasmas employed in industrial processing. As a proof of their widespread application, the noble gases are among the most frequently accessed spectra in the Atomic Spectra Database [1] maintained by the Atomic Spectroscopy Data Center at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Our research is currently focused on the study of highly-excited (Rydberg) states of neutral noble gases in the infrared spectral domain. This involves precise experimental laboratory measurements together with comprehensive reviews of all published data to select the most reliable values for the energy levels that are consonant with the best spectral data. In 2002, the Atomic Spectroscopy Data Center at NIST recorded high-resolution spectra of Ne, Kr, and Xe between 0.7 and 5.0 µm with the 2 m NIST Fouriertransform spectrometer [2]. These measurements provide new precise wavelengths and relative intensities and resolve questions concerning multiple classification of several lines. However, in light of the great importance of noble-gas spectra and the fact that our spectrometer (Bruker IFS 120 FTS) is a high-resolution instrument ideally suited to observe the time-resolved emission spectra of atomic transitions, we decided to make new additional measurements of the spectra of all noble gases (excluding Rn) in the infrared spectral range from 1 to 14 µm. Comprehensive line lists containing precise wavelengths, reliable energy level classifications, and relative line intensities of these gases in their natural isotopic mixtures have been the main goal of our experimental and theoretical work. In this Atlas, we focus particularly on transitions between excited Rydberg states corresponding to transitions between principal quantum numbers n = 6 − 10. Such spectra belong to the infrared (IR) spectral region (700–1800 cm−1 ), especially to transitions characterized by high orbital quantum numbers l, i.e., f -, g-, h- and i-states. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020 S.

1 Introduction

In addition, many lines were remeasured over a wide spectral region 700– 7000 cm−1 . In total, 1187 lines of five neutral noble gases (Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton and Xenon) are compiled in this publication. The data are presented in the form of tables containing the wavenumbers, their uncertainties and line intensities accompanied by charts showing the corresponding range of the spectrum. The wavenumbers listed in the tables are compared to experimental values (if available) recorded by other authors.

Experimental Setup and Spectral Analysis

All the spectra presented in this atlas were measured with the time-resolved Fouriertransform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer at the Department of Spectroscopy, J. Heyrovský Institute of Physical Chemistry, Czech Academy of Sciences. The original purpose in constructing time-resolved hardware was to directly observe the excitation and de-excitation of atomic and molecular species as well as follow chemical processes in periodically-excited systems. The first report describing the principle of time-resolved spectrometry with a continuously-scanning interferometer was published by Mantz [3]. This author used novel instrumentation for studying the infrared absorption spectra of transient species generated by flash photolysis. Berg and Sloan [4] developed a compact data acquisition system for sub-microsecond time-resolved FTS and demonstrated its functionality on the gas-phase reaction between O(1 D2 ) atoms and CH4 . Besides flash photolysis, laboratory discharges [5–7] and laser-induced dielectric breakdown plasmas [8] have been used to initiate chemical processes, as well. Nakanaga et al. [9] used a time-resolved high-resolution continuously scanning FTIR method to observe the relaxation of vibrationally-excited CO in a pulseddischarge plasma. Kawaguchi et al. [10] reviewed the technique of time-resolved synchronous FTS with a continuously-scanning mirror and modified a high-resolution Bruker IFS 120 HR interferometer to investigate the time profiles of ArH+ and ArH emission lines in an Ar/H2 pulsed discharge. The same method was later used with an ArF excimer laser as the excitation system [8, 11, 12]. In addition to molecular species, the time-resolved FTIR spectroscopy has been successfully applied also in the spectroscopy of the Rydberg states transitions of various atoms [13–19]. The time evolution of emission lines in our pulsed-discharge plasma is not presented here but we profit by using a time-resolved technique in two ways: © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020 S.

1. The time dependence of line intensities distinguishes the emission from multiple species generated in the plasma, which is useful in the assignment procedure. 2. Time-resolution can be used to increase the signal-to-noise ratio of some shortlived spectral lines by limiting data collection to an optimal time slice after the discharge pulse, when weak-line intensities are at their maxima. The experimental setup (Fig. 2.1) used for the measurement of spectra presented in this book is described briefly in this chapter and more details can be found in the literature [7, 14, 20]. The Bruker IFS 120 HR spectrometer is a high resolution, continuously scanning, single-sided acquisition Michelson interferometer with vacuum optics. The commercial system was modified in our laboratory to enable time-resolved data acquisition using the continuous-scanning synchronous method. This approach requires precise time synchronization of the pulse discharge and data sampling at a precisely-controlled optical path difference to obtain high-quality interferograms. These conditions were achieved by a special timing scheme (see Fig. 2.2) controlled by an (Intel) Altera Corporation Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The obtained data is sorted into the time-shifted interferograms. Samples of noble gases were excited by 22 µs-long discharge pulses at a repetition rate of 10 kHz. The discharges were produced in a 20 cm-long water-cooled glass discharge tube with an inner diameter of 12 mm and KBr or CaF2 windows. A slow

and continuous flow of the noble gas was regulated to maintain a pressure of 65– 260 Pa in the discharge cell. The water-cooled stainless-steel anode was connected to a high voltage source (typically 1 kV) modulated by a high-voltage transistor switch (model HTS 81, Behlke electronic GmbH, Frankfurt, Germany). The watercooled stainless-steel cathode was grounded. Depending on the sample-dependent resistance of the discharge cell, the peak-to-peak discharge current varied between 0.2 and 0.6 A. The emitted radiation was focused with either a KBr or CaF2 lens into the evacuated interferometer. The total spectral range (700–10 000 cm−1 ) was recorded in several separate measurements. In each of these experiments, different interference band filters were used to increase the signal-to-noise ratio (see Table 2.1). KBr and CaF2 optical elements were used in the spectral range from 700 to 2000 and from 2000 to 10 000 cm−1 respectively. Two detectors—MCT (HgCdTe) and InSb—were needed to cover the whole spectral range. Spectra were recorded with an unapodized resolution of 0.02 cm−1 and a time-resolution of 1–3 µs. Between 32 and 100 scans were co-added for each measurement to further increase the signal-to-noise ratio.

2 Experimental Setup and Spectral Analysis

Lines of CO, H2 O, NH3 and CO2 appearing in the spectra as impurities were used for wavenumber calibration, according to high-precision values of molecular rotation-vibration bands taken from HITRAN [21]. The recorded spectra were processed with code developed for this purpose. The measured interferograms were transformed into spectrograms, adopting the NortonBeer-weak apodization function [22] and the Mertz phase correction method [23]. Several time-shifted spectrograms with strong noble gas emission lines were averaged to increase the signal-to-noise ratio. The baseline of the resulting spectrogram was constructed by removing all the spectral lines and fitting the rest of the data with a cubic spline. This baseline was then subtracted from the spectrogram. A list of observed line wavenumbers with uncertainties and intensities are tabulated in Chap. 3. All these values are calculated by fitting a Voigt profile to each line, which under our experimental conditions does not differ significantly from a Lorentzian shape. The spectral resolution of FT spectrometer is given by Δν = 1/δmax , where δmax is the maximum displacement of the moveable mirror. The best resolution of our measurements was of 0.02 cm−1 that corresponds to approximately 1.5–3.5 data points per full width at half maximum (FWHM). The measured wavenumbers were calibrated using absorption lines of different molecular rotation-vibration bands using correction by applying the following formula: (2.1) νcorr = νobs (1 − α) − β, where νcorr are the corrected wavenumbers, νobs are the observed wavenumbers and α and β are parameters obtained by linear fitting of the deviation between the lines’ positions measured in this work and the high-precision wavenumbers taken from the HITRAN database [21] as a function of the wavenumbers. In the Fourier transform spectroscopy theory, the calibration is normally done with the help of (2.1) with β = 0. Such a form is used as an option in Bruker software for the spectra analysis [24, Sect. 8.12, p. 127]. We retained the β term for an account of possible systematic errors which could be due, e.g., to a systematic phase shift in the interferogram [25]. Since the obtained β value is very small, its presence has little effect on the accuracy of our measured wavenumbers. All tabulated wavenumbers were obtained using a fit to a Lorentzian line shape. The fit and the estimation of the corresponding statistical uncertainties can be obtained using any software for data visualization (e.g., Origin) or scientific calculation (e.g., Mathematica). The uncertainties are calculated by adding the statistical and calibration uncertainties in quadrature. The latter are primarily determined by the statistical uncertainties of the calibration factor found from the linear fit of the measured versus the reference wavenumber dependence. To assign transitions between previously unstudied levels we predict line positions from approximate level energies computed from the Rydberg formula assuming small quantum defect of the order of 0.001. The error in this energy-level approximation is rather high, but by calculating the expected line intensities, we can make reliable line classifications. Indeed, it appears that the line identification procedure is impossible

without information on each transitions oscillator strength. Modern ab initio calculations of the necessary matrix elements (see, for example [26] and references therein) use powerful resource-consuming methods that have certain limitations. In particular, they a bit vague the behavior of excited-state wavefunctions, and the energy error for even lowly-excited states is far from spectroscopic accuracy. On the other hand, the methods of the quantum defect theory (QDT) [27, 28], use experimental level energies as input parameters and are well suited for describing Rydberg states with arbitrary orbital quantum number l, including the intermediate-excitation Rydberg states of interest here. Some calculated matrix elements for atomic transitions between high-l Rydberg states were published in our previous works [7, 11–19, 29–36]. The accuracies of matrix elements computed within the QDT approximation are estimated sufficiently well to reliably classify our observed lines. Using QDT predicted line assignments we compute experimental levels from the measured line wavenumbers. For this task we used the LOPT program [37], that performs a least-square level-energy optimization that minimizes a weighted sum of squared “observed minus Ritz” wavenumber differences. We include maximal possible set of line measurements into our optimization. A graphical depiction of all levels contributing to the observed spectra is given at the end of the corresponding section for each atom on Figs. 3.1–3.5.

Spectra

This atlas compiles 1187 infrared spectral lines arising from five noble gases: He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe. The spectroscopic data included in this atlas are presented in the form of tables accompanied by figures, each detailing a section of the complete spectral region. This structure permits easy reference to our spectra and line assignments with the users spectrogram, and easy reference to the corresponding transition wavenumbers and intensities. The spectral line tables are composed of five columns. The first column denoted “No.” contains a reference line number to the accompanying spectrum. The second column denoted “Wavenumber” gives the spectral line positions obtained from the spectrogram by fitting the line profile function and a literature reference if this data has been published elsewhere. The uncertainty of this value is stated in parentheses (e.g., 808.641(4) corresponds to 808.641 ± 0.004). The values in the third column “Intensity” are relative emission intensities obtained by the line profile fitting with no additional corrections. The spectra were recorded during various experiments with slightly different experimental conditions and were not calibrated with a standard radiometric source. Then, the measured intensities are burdened with error caused by the used optical elements’ transparency and detector sensitivity at the actual wavenumber. Moreover, the low pressure in our discharge plasma, typically about 100 Pa, may be considered as a non-equilibrium environment. Under these conditions, the population distribution of atomic energy levels can be non-Maxwellian and show minor deviations from plasma in local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE), which in turn leads to slightly different line intensities when compared with an equilibrium plasma. For these reasons, the user should consider these values to be semiquantitative information about the strength of the lines. Only the intensities of lines lying close to each other can be directly compared (being aware of the eventual non-LTE conditions).

The fourth column denoted “Identification” describes upper and lower state assignment of all the observed transitions. The notation (including the usage of various angular momentum coupling schemes) follows that adopted in the Atomic Spectral Database of NIST [1]. The last column, “Wavenumber (other works)”, serves for comparison of our measured data with values published in other studies. Each transition table is accompanied by a full-page figure. This figure contains measured spectrograms showing all measured spectral lines, marked with a black dot and a number corresponding to the number in the first column of the following table. In the case where a spectral line appears too close to the figure border, its label appears on the previous or next page. In case the groups of noble gas spectral lines are too close to each other, only the first and last lines are marked and connected by a straight line. This approach has been chosen for better readability only and has no special meaning. Although the experiments were conducted with high-purity gases, there are several lines in the spectrum belonging to contaminant species. These impurities are mainly CO, H2 O, atomic oxygen O I and other noble gases. H2 O gets into the discharge cell through a small leakage, as well as CO2 and O2 which produce CO and O I in the discharge. The spectra of some of these species (H2 O and CO) were used for wavenumber calibration. The spectral lines of the impurities visible in the figure are marked with labels different from those used for the noble-gase tabulated lines. A few lines visible in the spectrum remain unassigned.

3.1 Helium High-resolution spectra of He I within the wavenumber range 800–7000 cm−1 were experimentally observed and analyzed. For part of the measured spectral range we compare the measured lines with linelists from works [38–43]. In most cases, our wavenumbers agree with the previously published measurements within their specified uncertainties. One exception is the 3 p(3 P)–4d(3 D) (∼5879 cm−1 ) multiplet line, which was measured in works [38–40] without resolution of its fine-structure, while 3 p(3 P0 )–4d(3 D1 ) and 3 p(3 P1 )–4d(3 D1,2 ) components are resolved by our time-resolved Fourier-transform technique. Another exception is the 2268.957(8) cm−1 5 p(3 P)–7d(3 D) line reported by Akihiro Kono [42] as 2268.9475 cm−1 . However, the 5 p(3 P)–7d(3 D) multiplet components calculated by Drake [44] are in much better agreement with our new data, which we then favour. It should be mentioned that in all tables we compare measured wavenumbers only, and not with calculated values.

The scale of tabulated relative intensities only applies within the same spectral range, bearing in mind that different filters, detectors and beamsplitters were used for the measurements in each range: 800–1000, 1000–1200, 1200–1680, 1680–3500, 3500–4100, 4100–5000, 5000–7000 cm−1 . The corresponding configurations of filters, detectors, and beamsplitters are listed in Table 2.1. All energy levels of He I, which are involved in transitions within the studied IR range are shown in Fig. 3.1.

3.2 Neon In this section, we report on a high resolution Ne I emission spectrum over the 800–7000 cm−1 range recorded in a pulsed discharge plasma. The identification of the lines was performed by comparison with transition probability values calculated using the quantum defect method and was published in [13] in detail. Some of our tabulated Ne I spectral lines are also published by Morillon [46] and in critical compilations by Sansonetti [47]. Within their uncertainty limits, our values agree with the data from the mentioned studies, with the exception of the following cases. In the case of the 5 p–5d multiplet we can compare our values only with some multiplet components measured in 1972 [46]. Given the 0.06 cm−1 measurement resolution in Morillon’s research [46], we consider that his wavenumbers in the 1820–2060 cm−1 range agree with our results. The line at 1930.315 cm−1 can be multiply assigned. Within the given uncertainties, it can be classified as either 5s  [1/2]1 –5 p  [1/2]0 or 5 p  [1/2]1 –5d  [3/2]2 transitions, the former being slightly more probable according to our QDT calculation of dipole transition moments. The scale of tabulated relative intensities only applies within the same spectral range, bearing in mind that different filters, detectors and beamsplitters were used for the measurements in each range: 700–930, 930–1280, 1280–1600, 1600–1980, 1980–3400, 3400–4000, 4000–5000, 5000–7600 cm−1 . The corresponding configurations of filters, detectors, and beamsplitters are listed in Table 2.1. All energy levels of Ne I, which are involved in transitions within the studied IR range are shown in Fig. 3.2.

3.3 Argon The study of the emission spectra of neutral argon in pulsed discharge plasma in the 800–2000 cm−1 range was already published by our group in [48]. In this section we report spectra of Ar I in a wider range (800–7100 cm−1 ). For part of this data set we can compare measured lines with other high-resolution measurements of the Ar I spectrum from works [49, 50]. Within the uncertainty limits, our values agree with the data from previous studies. The only exception is the 2000.2637 cm−1 line reported by [50] to belong to Th II spectrum. The line they observed could possibly be a result of blending of the 5 f 7s 2 2 F7/2 –6d 2 (1 G)7s J = 9/2 transition line in Th II with the 4d  [3/2]2 –6 p  [1/2]1 transition line in Ar I. The latter line is clearly seen in our spectra at 2000.331 cm−1 (while no Th lines are detected). The scale of tabulated relative intensities only applies within the same spectral range, bearing in mind that different filters, detectors and beamsplitters were used for the measurements in each range: 800–1000, 1000–1200, 1200–1650, 1650–2000, 2000–3500, 3500–4100, 4100–5000, 5000–7100 cm−1 . The corresponding configurations of filters, detectors, and beamsplitters are listed in Table 2.1. All energy levels of Ar I, which are involved in transitions within the studied IR range are shown in Fig. 3.3.

3.4 Krypton In this section we report the Kr I emission spectrum over the range 700–7700 cm−1 range. For parts of this range, Kr I spectral lines are known from [51–57]. Some of these measurements were done in the 50–60s with grating spectrometers and had relatively low accuracy. Within their uncertainty limits, our values agree with the results of two high-resolution FTIR measurements by Mishra et al. [56] and Sansonetti and Greene [57]. The scale of tabulated relative intensities only applies within the same spectral range, bearing in mind that different filters, detectors and beamsplitters were used for the measurements in each range: 750–960, 660–1200, 1200–1650, 1650–2000, 2000–2300, 2300–3800, 3800–5100, 5100–7600 cm−1 . The corresponding configurations of filters, detectors, and beamsplitters are listed in Table 2.1. All energy levels of Kr I, which are involved in transitions within the studied IR range are shown in Fig. 3.4.

3.5 Xenon In this part we report the emission spectrum of Xe I in the 700–7600 cm−1 range. For part of this range existing tables of Xe I spectral lines are given in [38, 55, 56, 58–60]. Note that there are some inconsistencies in the values when compared between older works. For example, two fine-structure components (2495.592 and 2495.686 cm−1 ) of the 4f[7/2]–5g[7/2] transition are reported in the original work [55] as a single line at 2495.59(6) cm−1 without resolving its fine-structure. Further components of the 4f[5/2]–5g[7/2] transition measured in 1967 at 2529.73(6) and 2532.68(6) cm−1 are replaced here with more accurate and precise measurements at 2529.685(10) and 2532.646(10) cm−1 . Values in the region 6500–7500 cm−1 measured in 1952 by [38] are corrected as well. The scale of tabulated relative intensities only applies within the same spectral range, bearing in mind that different filters, detectors and beamsplitters were used for the measurements in each range: 700–1000, 1000–1200, 1200–1600, 1600–2100, 2100–3500, 3500–4100, 4100–5000, 5000–7600 cm−1 . The corresponding configurations of filters, detectors, and beamsplitters are listed in Table 2.1. All energy levels of Xe I, which are involved in transitions within the studied IR range are shown in Fig. 3.5.

Conclusion

The spectroscopic investigation of molecular ions [45], radicals and atoms that play a fundamental role in many plasma-chemical processes are the main longstanding topic of research in our laboratory. The spectra presented in this atlas were recorded using a commercially available continuously-scanning high-resolution interferometer uniquely modified for time resolved Fourier-transform spectroscopy. We focused on several aspects of noble gas spectroscopy in particular. Advances in calibration techniques are removing the reliance on molecular atmospheric features for wavelength calibration and provide higher absolute accuracy for high-resolution spectroscopy. The high-precision atomic spectroscopy data presented in this atlas can be used directly for calibrating field astronomical measurements instead of commonlyused molecular features, such as water or carbon dioxide. The observation of radiative transitions between atomic Rydberg states is a suitable tool in plasma diagnostics. Furthermore, Rydberg-state atoms serve as a unique model for studying the electronic structure of atoms and molecules at the boundary of quantum and classical physics. There are also numerous studies on the potential utilization of Rydberg states in quantum computers. Despite decades of research of these highly-excited atomic states, there is a lack of experimental spectroscopic data and their full theoretical explanation is both incomplete and critically needed for further progress in this field. What is more, spectra of atomic species play an important role in describing and understanding stars, nebulae, galaxies and other objects in the Universe. The lack of reliable atomic data has become a crucial problem for the further progress of astronomy as well. For decades, most atomic spectral lines used by astrophysicists were in the optical or ultraviolet range while the correct interpretation of new high-resolution astrophysical spectra requires an increasing amount of high-quality atomic data, such as level energies, oscillator strengths and photoionization cross-sections relating to © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020 S.

4 Conclusion

the infrared spectral region. Infrared astronomy is very promising for studying dustobscured objects, interstellar clouds, cool objects, such as brown dwarfs, and objects at cosmological distances from Earth. The main goal and purpose of this atlas, as perceived by us, the authors, is the hope that this atlas, or atomic spectral data in general, will become widely used in astronomical measurements, since the noble gases are present almost everywhere in the universe—in the interstellar medium, molecular clouds, nebulae, stellar envelopes and planetary atmospheres. Knowledge of their precise spectra is therefore crucial.
