Studies of De-excited Spectra of Heavy Ions FeI and CuI at Low Energy

The de-excited spectra of FeI and CuI after the interaction of Fe+ and Cu+ ions with a carbon foil (8.5μg/cm2) have been investigated by using the Beam-foil(BF) technique at an incident energy of 110 keV.The measured lines in the spectra are mainly from de-excited atoms FeI and CuI.The lifetime of stronger lines,including seven lines of FeI and three lines of CuI of the spectra are also measured.Some progress has been made in preparing foils with high quality and in adjusting the intensity of ion beams During measurements,the lifetime of carbon foil targets is more than 30 minutes.
