cause it can now be argued that electron densities inheavy metal break arcs should be comparable to orgreater than those for magnesium. Arc temperaturesare generally higher for the heavier metals and there-fore one might reasonably expect LTE to obtain for suchelements in break arcs. On that basis, the observed in-tensities of the emission lines can be used to determineimproved values of oscillator strengths. A study of thiskind involving Pd, Ag, Pt, and Au has been completedand the results will be reported shortly. In the mean-time, the oscillator strengths for these elements areavailable on request. 9

The high resolution absorption spectrum of Pbi is reported between 1350 and 2041 A. Transitions areobserved from the 6p 2 (1/2,1/2),, (3/2,1/2),, and (3/2,1/2)2 levels to levels with J < 2 associated with 6pnsand 6pnd configurations. Energy levels have been determined with n * values as high as 74. More than 500spectral features and 370 odd parity energy levels are reported, a major part of which are new. Theseobservations include five electric quadrupole transitions and 31 nuclear-spin-induced transitions from the20'Pb isotope. Ionization limits of 59819.57 4 0.10 cm-' and 73900.64 4 0.10 cm-' have been determined forlevels converging on the 6p 2P'P2 and 6p 2P3,2 levels of Pb ii, respectively. An analysis of these data in termsof Lu-Fano graphical methods and multichannel quantum defect parametrization also is presented.
INTRODUCTION
The electronic spectrum and structure of Pbi have beeninvestigated extensively. Much of the data from earlierinvestigations summarized by Moore' were supersededin the late 1960's by data presented by Garton and Wil-son2 and by Wood and Andrew. 3 Wood and Andrew rein-vestigated the Pbi emission spectrum and reported im-proved lists of wavelengths (emission lines in the 1733-39 039 A region) and energy levels (59 with even and 58with odd parity). Garton and Wilson reinvestigated thePb I absorption spectrum in the 1100-2500 A region andobserved a number of new transitions from the groundlevel 6p2 3Po. They reported two discrete series [6p233po-6pns 'P' (n = 8-32) and 6p23PO-6pnd'Do, (n=6-53)] con-verging on the lowest (6p'P5 1N 2 ) limit of Pb Ii, three auto-ionized J= 1° series converging on the 6p 2P3/2 limit, andover 100 odd parity energy levels not included in Woodand Andrew's list. Although subsequent publications"47

contained information of interest to the present work,they have left the spectral line positions and energy lev-els presented in Refs. 2 and 3 substantially unmodified,
The present investigation emphasizes the absorptionspectrum of lead in the - 1350-2041 A region. The spec-trum reported here is more extensive and highly resolvedthan previously published absorption spectra2 ' and hasimproved wavelength accuracy. The essentially com-plete assignment of the observed Pbi spectrum leads toa substantial increase in the number of odd parity levelswhich have been experimentally characterized and to theidentification of a number of transitions forbidden byelectric dipole selection rules.
The absorption spectrum of PbI under discussion hereconsists of transitions between levels [designated 3Po,3P1, and 'P2 or (*, 2), (2, )1,. and (3, 2)2 in LS or J nota-tion, respectively] from the ground configuration 6p2 and

levels associated with the excited electron configurations6pns and 6pnd, which have the ground term 6p 2PI ofPbii as their core. For the analogous transitions in thespectra of CI, 8 Si i, 9 Ge I, 10 and SnI, 11 the only selectionrules observed to apply were the general electric dipolerules even- odd, and AJ= 0, ± 1 (J= 04- J= 0). The sit-uation is similar for Pb i, except that a number of weaktransitions with AJ=+2 and J"=0-J'=0 also are ob-served.
For 6pns and 6pnd configurations, there are 12 oddparity channels (level series plus their continua) with J< 2 based on the 6p2P /2 or the 6p2P'/ 2 level of Pb ii.Consideration of the jj- coupling terms produced by add-ing ns or nd to 3/2 or 2P1/2 indicates that one J= 0,three J= 1, and three J= 2 channels belong to the 2P,12(upper) ion core, and one J= 0, two J= 1, and two J= 2channels belong to the 2P1/2 (lower) ion core. The AJselection rule limits the electric dipole allowed transi-tions between 6p2 3P and the 12 channels listed above to27 spectral series. The Pb i ground term more nearlyapproaches jj than LS coupling3 and is regular with(3, 2)-(2, 2)0 and (2, 2)2- (22 2) separations3 of 7819. 263cm' and 10650.327 cm1 , respectively. The Pbi'6P2P°,2-2 P1o 2 spacing12 is 14081.074 cm-'; hence, sev-eral of the 27 spectral series mentioned above will con-verge to each of six apparent convergence limits between1353.17 and 2033.80 A.
The multichannel two limit approach to the problem ofinterpreting interactions among the energy levels con-verging on the two ground-state levels of Pb ii is thesame as that discussedl0 "1 in detail for the analogouschannels in GeI and Sni. Briefly, the interactions be-tween channels13 '16 are periodic because level series be-longing to channels converging on different ion core lim-its periodically cross. The restriction that interactinglevels have the same parity and J value permits the con-sideration of the resulting channel mixings for each Jvalue as an individual problem. The possible energylevels correspond to the points of intersection of func-tions nt = G(n2*) and nt = f(n2*). The first function can berepresented by
nt= G(n2*) = n2*(1 - A)*2) /2 (1)
while nt = f (n2*) is the solution of
F(nt, n4) =detI Ui0 sin(n - j)I =0 . (2)
In Eq. (1) the quantities nh and n2* are the effective quan-tum numbers for each level based on the two possibleionization energies, El. (for 6p2P ,2 ) and E2,
(for 6p 2 P3/ 2 ), with A = (E2 ,. - ElO)R-' = 0. 128 316 53 usingR= 109 737. 024 cm-. In Eq. (2) the Ui,'s are matrixelements for the transformation between the close-cou-pled and loose-coupled representations, 17 the pla areeigenquantum defects17 for the close-coupled eigenstates,and n0' is nt or n* depending upon which state of the ionthe ith loose-coupled state is built.
The mixing coefficients Man which specify the specificlinear combination of close-coupled states making up theRydberg level, can be computed from the expansion's5 "

EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES
The apparatus and experimental procedures used inthis work have been described in detail1 and are similarto those employed to obtain highly dispersed absorptionspectra of other fourth group atoms. 9-11 Briefly, lead'9
was heated to temperatures in the range 850-1350 °C inan evacuable King furnace system with a 122 cm longhot zone.. Absorption spectra were obtained from asingle pass through the furnace using microwave-excitedxenon or krypton lamps to provide background continua.Spectra were photographed on Kodak SWR plates using a6. 6 m spectrograph in either the third (for X > 1500 A)or fourth (for X< -1500 A) orders with reciprocal dis-persions of - 0. 41 or 0. 31 A/mm, respectively. Mostof the experiments were performed with flowing argon inthe furnace at pressures less than 0. 1 Torr, although ina few cases argon pressures as high as 100 Torr wereemployed.
Reference standards, plate measurement, and data re-duction procedures are similar to those described previ-ously. 18 The wavelength uncertainty in sharp unblendedlines is estimated to be ± 0. 002 A or less, which is equalto ±0.08 cm-' at 1500 A and - ±0. 06 cm-' at 1800 A.However, the wavelengths of diffuse or blended lines aremore uncertain.
RESULTS
Temperatures were limited to less than '-1350'C inour experiments by the vapor pressure of lead. At thesetemperatures, the 6p
2(3, 2)2 and 6p 2 (3, 2), levels are pop-
ulated sparsely relative to the ground level 6p2( , 2)Hence our spectrum of Pb I is dominated by transitionsfrom 6p2 (2, 12) to a greater extent than were similarspectra 9 "11 for the lighter fourth group elements. It alsoshould be noted that our spectrum of Pb i is simpler thanthe corresponding spectra for SiI, Gel, or SnI because(a) below the 6p2Pl1 2 limit there are fewer perturbationsbetween levels in channels with different core levels and(b) above the 6p 2 P1°/2 limit the extremely intense auto-ionizing transitions from 6p2(1, '), to J= 10 channelsassociated with 6p2P3/2 mask spectral transitions from6p 2 (2, 12) and (2, 12) to all other channels associated with6p2p /
Although a number of spectrograms were taken in theA > 2040 k region in an attempt to locate transitions fromthe 6p2(2, 2)2 level to excited levels with J= 1, 2, or 3,only very faint absorptions were observed. Since suchtransitions were the only allowed combinations with J= 3levels, no new data on J= 3 levels were obtained in thiswork. This negative result was anticipated since the6p2(3, ')2 lies 10650 cm-' (kT=14 000 'K) above the groundlevel and hence has a negligible population at 1350 'C.

aComments in this column have the following meanings, q= questionable line; Q = electric quadrupole transition; N= nuclear-spin-induced transition; Al, A2, A3 = absorptionmaxima of Beutler-Fano profile while. El, E2, E3 =absorp-tion minima of Beutler-Fano profile (see Fig. 2).Intensities are visual estimates (see text). A d indicates adiffuse line, an s a shoulder measurement, and an * a blend.The intensity scales for the emissionlike features (absorptionminima) and the absorptionlike features are necessarily in-dependent, and in the opposite sense.
cThe upper level of the transitions is defined by its J' valueand n2* effective quantum number (see Table II and text).

(see Fig. 5). In the J= 0 and J= 1 cases, this labeling has beenextended to the series limits, however, the fact that levels canbe arranged into "series" with nearly constant quantum defectsshould not be taken to mean that configuration mixing is absentin the J= 0 and J= 1 channels. The evidence for this mixingis the appearance of the Beutler-Fano profiles in the autoionizedportion of the channel structure. It is fortuitous that theseries limits in the J = 0 and J= 1 cases occur in a region wherethe quantum defects are not changing rapidly (see Fig. 3).dThis "level" is actually the position of the first member of aseries of autoionized features (marked El in Fig. 2) with
0. 83. Since the wave number of the combination withthe J" = 0 level and energy of the autoionized "level" coincide.the remainder of this series is found in Table I with 2. 83 < n¶<33.78.eThe first member of a series of features (marked E2 in Fig. 2)with (nt).d I ; 0. 9. The remainder of these features are re-ported in Table I with 2. 94 < n4 < 55. 7.fThe first member of a series of features (marked A3 in Fig.2) with (nt44 ,d I - 0. 2. The remainder of this series with 3. 21< n4 < 34.23 are reported in Table I.
ble II indicates that a transition from 6p (2, 2) or (2 4)0to the level in question has been observed in the presentwork, with additional comments appearing in subsequentcolumns. The nz* and J values in Table II serve touniquely identify the upper levels of the transitions in theline assignments appearing in Table 1.
It should be emphasized that the intensities reportedin Tables I and II are visual estimates and are intendedonly as a rough guide to the relative intensities of theobserved features. Although attempts were made tomaintain a uniform scale, intensities for lines widelyseparated in wavelength could not be unambiguously cor-related. Further, spectra for transitions with 6p(2, 2Aas their lower level generally were observed under con-ditions quite different (i. e., higher temperatures andpressures) from those for trnnsitions involving the6p9(4, 2)0 ground level; thus t ensity scales for thesetwo sets of transitions should be regarded as unrelated.In addition, no relation could be established between theintensity scales for sharp spectral lines and for broadautoionized features. Hence, the intensity estimates inTables I and II should be used only when comparing sim-ilar transitions which occur within - 50 A of one another.
A. Odd parity, J= I channels
There are two J= 1" channels associated with the6p2plF/2 core level, with discrete portions which aremixtures of levels conventionally labeled 6pns(4, 4)0 and6pnd4[ A3R in j and jK notations. Below the 6pFP,/2limit, we have extended the series previously designated6p2(2, 2)0 -6pns(G, 412)f and 6p2(4, 42)0 -6pnd42[4t to n valuesof 59 and 77, respectively, and have observed the6p2(2, DIX 6pns(2, 2)f1 and 6p2(2, D)j-6pnd 2[ 2]71 transitions
for n= 11-1 3 and n= 10-3 0, respectively.
Above the 6p2plF,2 limit, the continuous portions of thetwo J= 1° channels mentioned above mix with the discreteportions of the three J= 1° channels associated with the6p2PIj/2 level, which are in turn mixtures of the levelsconventionally labeled 6pns(2, 2 ), s 6pnd 2[2],, and6pnd 4[ 4}1. A result of this mixing is that the absorp-

P'312 ionic limit for Pbi, Sni, and Gei. The wavelengthscales have been adjusted to match the 14 n* '21 regions ofthe three spectra. Changes in the Beutler-Fano profiles fromsharp emissionlike windows in Pbi to asymmetrical absorptionprofiles in Gei are striking.
convergence limit consists of an intense continuum uponwhich are superimposed three series of Beutler-Fanoprofiles [see Figs. 1(a) and 2] which converge to a limitat 1353 A. As can be seen in Fig. 1, windows in theabsorption spectrum (emission like features) are morepronounced in Pb I than in Sn I or Ge I. Since the conceptof discrete series of energy levels breaks down in suchsituations, it should be emphasized that the data forautoionizing levels in Tables I and II are no more thancollections of energies and n* values for series of simi-lar spectral features. Analogous listings by Garton andWilson2 contain J= 1 ° features with n* values as high as26, while the present work extends such observations toa* values of 57.
A Lu-Fano plot for the J= 1° levels of Pb I under dis-cussion appears in Fig. 3. The main features of Fig.3 have been drawn using the J= 1° levels from Table IIlying below the 6p2Po/2 limit (points joined by solidlines) to locate the horizontal portions of the curve andthe approximate values of (n'*)modl for the main featuresin the autoionized portion of the spectrum [(n2*)mod1 valuesof 0.20, 0. 83, and 0. 94] to sketch the remainder of thediagram (dashed portion).

The numbers on these curves indicate the principalpart of nt (i. e., the curve numbered 4 corresponds to 4 End- 5). The heavy solid and dashed curve corresponds to theexperimentally determined and estimated portions, respective-ly, of the function nt =f(n2*).
the 6p2Pl,/2 core contribute regular "series" that con-verge to the 2P1/2 ionization limit at n2* =2.79. In TableII, the J= 1° levels with (nt)mOdl = 0. 18 and - 0. 8 havebeen labeled 6pns(2, 2 and 6pnd [ l1, respectively,while the level at 49 439. 62 cm-' (nt = 3. 2515) has beendesignated 6p7s(2, 2)1. All such configuration and termlabels should be considered approximate because, insimilar situations, 10,11 levels in what appear to be regu-lar series are found to be admixtures of several chan-nels. The five eigenquantum defects for the J= 1 close-coupled states associated with 6p P3/2,1/2 can be esti-mated from Fig. 3, and are approximately 0. 1, 0. 2,0.80, 0.85, and 0.95.
The two ionization limits for levels converging on the2P levels of Pb II were evaluated by assuming that thequantum defects of the two J= 1 series converging on2 P1/2 and of the two charp emissionlike series (El andE2 in Fig. 2) converging on 2P3/2 become constant atlarge quantum numbers. Since we had no a priori rea-son to believe that the series limits should occur in aregion of constant quantum defects (in the case of theJ= 2 levels, exactly the opposite is true, see Fig. 4),the ionization potentials obtained were checked for con-sistency by requiring the following: (i) the values ob-tained must agree within experimental error; (ii) thequantum defects for the J= 2 levels must behave mono-tonically on Fig. 4; and (iii) the difference of the twolimits must correctly predict the 2po spacing of Pbii.All these criteria were met, and ionization limits of59 819. 57 i 0. 10 cm 1 and 73 900. 64 ± 0. 10 cm- 1 were ob-
tained for the 6p P1/2 and 6pP3°/2 levels of PbII, re-spectively. These should be compared with the best pre-vious values 3 of 59,819. 4 ± 0. 3 cm- 1 and 73 900. 5 ± 0. 3

B. Odd parity, J = 0 channels
There are two J= 00 channels associated with the 6p2P0core, the discrete portions of which would be mixturesof levels conventionally labeled 6pns(2, X and6pnd 2[ 23 0. Of these, only the levels associated with theseries labeled 6pns have been identified with certainty.Values for 7s-13s are listed by Wood and Andrew. 3 Wehave observed the 6p2(z, 2)1-6pns(2, 2)O transitions forn= 11-36 and the forbidden transitions 6p2 (l, 26pns(I, 2 )O for n= 11-16. Since J= 0-J= 0 even-oddtransitions are forbidden for all types of radiation, theselines can be attributed to nuclear-spin-induced effectsin the 207Pb isotope (see Refs. 22-24 and Discussion).
A Lu-Fano diagram for the J= 0° levels is unnecessarybecause all of these levels (see Table II) fall on thestraight line with (nt)mod =I0. 2. We have not been ableto assign transitions which would allow us to sketch thevertical portion of the J= 0° diagram, although the ten-dency toward pair coupling in the close-coupled region(i. e., toward jj or jK coupling) suggests that the verticalJ= Oq portion will occur for (nf*)modI> 0. 8 as in the J= 1°case discussed above. For this situation the two eigen-quantum defects for J =0 would be approximately 0. 18and 0.8< Au<l.O.
C. Qdd parity, J= 2 channels
There are five J= 20 channels associated with the 6p 2po
core, the discrete portions of which would be mixturesof levels conventionally labeled 6pns(3, 2)2, 6pndz[]°6pnd-j[2, 6pnd{Fl[5], 6pnd3[3]°, and 6pnd@[ °. Woodand Andrew3 provide revised values for 6p7s(2, 22,6p6d3 [ ]° , 6pnd [ ]° for n = 6-13, and 6pnd2[ 3]° fori=6 6-12, while Moore's1 listing includes values for6p8s(, 2)° and 6p9s(3, ')°. In terms of these conven-

tional labels we have observed the 6p 2(2, 1)1-6pnd {[ jotransitions for n = 10-62, the 6p2(3, 2)1-6pnd [3] transi-tions for n = 10- 13 and 16- 30, and the electric dipoleforbidden 6p2(, 22),-6pnd 2[! 2 transitions for n= 11-35.However, these conventionally labeled series exhibitmarked irregularities in both their energies and spectralline intensities, irregularities which vanish when viewedfrom the multichannel, two limit approach.
The data for the J= 2° levels in Table II appear aspoints in the Lu-Fano diagram illustrated in Fig. 4. Asindicated by the solid curves in Fig. 4, sufficient datawere available to construct a fairly complete diagram.The dashed vertical portion of the diagram is necessari-ly an estimate because it is based on the single datapoint for the level previously designated 6p7s(2, 2)2 atni = 3. 072, which is the only member of this channelappearing below the 6p 2P /2 limit. It should be notedthat the J= 20 level at 58 517 cm-' (the point at nt = 9. 18)belongs to the mixed ns, nd channel structures, whichagrees more closely with the classification of Wood andAndrew3 and the observed Zeeman pattern 4 than the6s6p3 5So classification suggested by Garton and Wilson. 2
The data for the J= 2° levels in Table II were used toevaluate the multichannel parameters appearing in Eq.(2), using least-squares iterative procedures similar tothose previously discussed. 10 The starting point for theiteration of the J=2' transformation matrix was the ma-trix for angular momentum recoupling between a loose-coupled jj and a close-coupled jK scheme, with ele-ments 2 0 calculated using formulas given by Cowan andAndrew. 21 Final values of /la and Ui,, are reported inTable III.
Mixing coefficients Ma for the close-coupled portionsof the J= 20 channels were calculated using Eq. (3) andthe data in Table III. Figure 5, which is a plot of M.vs (nfl)modl, summarizes the results of these calculations.

values on a vertical line drawn through the level's(n*)modl value. Although a number of conventional desig-nations appear in Table II, it should be noted that theactual compositions of even the lower lying J= 2° levelsare those determined from Fig. 5.
DISCUSSION
As noted in the previous section, we have observed 31weak transitions which do not obey the electric dipoleselection rules. These transitions all originate from theground level 6p2(, DO and terminate on odd parity levelswith J values of either 0 or 2. They cannot be magneticdipole or electric quadrupole transitions because they in-volve changes in parity; however, they can result fromnuclear-spin-induced electric dipole effects.22,23 Mag-netic quadrupole effects are ruled out because of the ab-sence of other magnetic multipole transitions in our Pb Ispectrum and because such effects cannot produce2 2' 23 theobserved J " = 0- J' = 0° transition.
The nuclear spin effects under discussion mix23 levelswith the same parity and F values (the resultant of cou-pling electronic and nuclear spin angular momenta), butwith J values differing by ±1. The resulting mixed stateI J', nj) can be thought of as being approximately
JJnj) J,nj) (J, n 1l- /1. HIJ±l,n,) IJ+1,n,|J~nf= l~ni) Er, nj -EXJl, ni Jln)
where ,u is the nuclear magnetic moment and H is themagnetic field produced by the electrons.
Nuclear-spin-induced transitions can occur only inatoms with nonzero nuclear spins. The only stable iso-tope of lead with a nonzero spin is 207Pb which comprisesabout 23% of lead's natural abundance. Hence, the 31transitions (labeled with an N in the comment column inTable I) occur in the single isotope 207Pb. This observa-tion suggested24 a simple means of separating 207Pb viathe optical pumping of any of these transitions followedby either field or photoionization of the excited level.
There are intensity maxima in these series (see Ta-ble I) at intermediate n values. This effect is real andseems plausible if the general form of Eq. (4) holds forn < 30. In this situation the intensities of nuclear- spin-induced electric dipole transitions depend (a) on the mix-ing of levels with AJ= ± 1, which will tend to increasewith increasing n (as E0,n - EJkif values decrease withseries convergence) if the matrix elements are slowlyvarying functions of n, and (b) on the intensities of tran-sitions to the allowed portions of the resulting admix-tures, which normally decrease with increasing n. Be-cause effects (a) and (b) vary inversely with increasingn, their combination can explain the distribution of tran-sition intensities observed for these "forbidden" transi-tions in Pb i.
We also have observed five weak transitions (markedQ in Table I) which obey the selection rules for electricquadrupole radiation. These transitions originate fromthe 6p2(l, ')o ground level and terminate on the even pari-ty levels 6pnp(-, 3)2 with n =8 and 9 and 6pnf '[ 5 2 withn= 5, 6, and 7.
There are 16 lines in Table I which remain unassigned.Of these the line at 51 970. 94 cmi1 mjay belong to the6p2(2, 2)1-6p6d 32[2] transition. Such an assignmentwould lead to an n2* value of 2. 7887 for the upper level,which would be in agreement with our estimates for thevertical portion of the J= 0° Lu-Fano diagram (seeabove). Aside from a few very weak lines of question-able existence, it is presumed that the remaining linesbelong to transitions involving levels in either the yet un-characterized 6s6p3 configuration or portions of the ns,nd channel structures associated with the 6p2
°3/ 2 corefor which combination lines are masked by the intense6p2(', 2)0 - J=1° autoionizing transitions. Without the aidof observable combinations we feel it is unwise to specu-late further on the possible assignments of these transi-tions.

7A set of parameters (designated pal D,, and Ui, with the num-bers of i's and at's equal to the number of channels being con-sidered) result from separating the state representing the sys-tem composed of Rydberg electrons plus a charged ion coreinto regimes and matching the states appropriate in the tworegimes attheircommon boundaries. In the first (close-coupled, short-range) regime, the Rydberg electrons arestrongly correlated with electrons in the core. In the second(loose-coupled, long-range) regime, the electrons are sub-
ject mainly to attractions from a centralized charged ioncore, and the eigenstates appropriate at these large electron-core separations are the Coulomb functions. The total stateof the system is then a linear combination of the above eilen-states with the coefficients in the combination (i. e., the mix-ing coefficients) determined by the boundary conditions at in-finity and at some point ro where the two solutions join.

We investigate the time-dependent spectrum of light from an observational point of view and define a time-dependent "physical spectrum" of light based on the counting rate of a photodetector. The tunable element,the filter, that allows observation of different spectral components of the light is shown to play an essentialrole in the time-dependent spectrum. Its bandwidth cannot be taken arbitrarily narrow. We establish theconnection between our physical spectrum and other time-dependent spectra associated with Page, Lampard,Silverman, and Kolmogorov, as well as with the Wiener-Khintchine power spectrum. Also, we show theconditions under which these earlier definitions can be used as the first approximations to the completephysical spectrum, and give an expression for the correction terms.
