Parametric Calculations of Radiative Decay Rates for Magnetic Dipole and Electric Quadrupole Transitions in Tm IV, Yb V, and Er IV

Semi-empirical transition probabilities for magnetic dipole (M1) and electric quadrupole (E2) emission lines have been derived from parametric studies of experimental energy levels in Tm3+ (Tm IV), Yb4+ (Yb V), and Er3+ (Er IV), using Cowan codes. Results are compared with those existing from ab ini...
