Abstract

The Rb I-like spectra of columbium and molybdenum have been excited in a vacuum spark and photographed with a vacuum spectrograph. Identifications of lines corresponding to the transitions 5sS25pP2, 5pP25dD2, 5pP26sS2, 4dD25pP2, and 4dD24fF2 for Cb V and Mo VI have been facilitated by extrapolation from the corresponding lines in the spectra of the four preceding elements in the Rb I-like isoelectronic sequence. The relative term values 4dD2, 5sS2, 5pP2, 4fF2, 5dD2, and 6sS2 have been determined. Absolute term values have been approximately fixed by extrapolating ν12 for the terms of the sequence in such a way as to maintain the validity of the irregular doublet law and they have been compared with those obtained by applying the Rydberg formula to the S2 and D2 terms, and with those found by extrapolating values of the quantum defects for the S2 and P2 terms.
