Joseph Reader, Gabriel L. Epstein, and Jan Olof Ekberg, "Spectra of Rb ii, Sr iii, Y iv, Zr v, Nb vi, and Mo vii in the Vacuum Ultraviolet," J. Opt. Soc. Am. 62, 273-284 (1972)
The characteristic resonance-line spectrum in the Kr i isoelectronic sequence, consisting of the five transitions to the 4p6 1S0 ground state from levels with J = 1 in the 4p54d and 5s configurations has been observed from Rb ii to Mo vii. The observations were made with sliding sparks, on the 10.6-m normal-incidence spectrograph at NBS and the 5-m grazing-incidence spectrograph in Lund. A number of transitions from higher levels of the type 4p5nd, 4p5ns, and 4s4p65p were also observed. Isoelectronic comparisons are given for all observed levels. The ionization energies in electron volts are
Rb ii 27.285
Y iv 60.60
Nb vi 102.06
Sr iii 42.87
Zr v 80.36
Mo vii 125.66.
Anomalous relative intensities observed for the 4p54d transitions are found to be caused by excitation conditions within the light source.

Operating data for sliding spark at NBS. The external inductance is given as the number of turns used in a closely wound coil with diameter of 10 cm. The external resistance is given as either the number of plates used in a carbon-plate-contact resistor or the ohmage of a conventional rheostat.
All lines measured in Washington.

GC—Charles4; MC—Chaghtai.6
This line is apparently present on Chaghtai’s spectrogram, Ref. 14. However, his identification of it as a line given by Charles was erroneous.
Also apparently present on Chaghtai’s spectrogram. However, his wavelength is in error by 0.19 Å, probably due to use of misidentified lines noted in footnote c as standards.
