Intercombination decay of 3 s3 p3P1 0 in MgI-like Ni and Cu
The intercombination transition 3s21S0 -3s3p3P1 0 in Ni16+ and Cu17+ has been studied by beam-foil spectroscopic methods. Decay curve analysis yields lifetime values of (12.0±1.0)ns and (8.8±0.6)ns for Ni and Cu in agreement with various predictions.
