Data of heavy elements for light sources in EUV and XUV and for other applications

Atomic ionic states and transition properties of elements with atomic numbers Z ranging from 50 to 80 are discussed as these are important to the understanding of plasmas containing such heavy elements. As such, data productions and the current status of theoretical calculations in this field are discussed. Further, recent spectroscopic measurements and respective theoretical analyses for W, Gd, and Nd are provided. The spectra of photoemissions elicited by the transitions between the sub-shell levels in N-sub-shell open atomic ions are of interest for the strong influence received from the interactions between the electronic state configurations with different constituent orbitals. Visible light emissions of W from M1 as well as E2 transitions are introduced and discussed.
