Abstract

The photoabsorption spectra of Te I-Te IV have been recorded and analysed in the XUV spectral region using the dual laser produced plasma technique. Photoexcitation from the 4d subshell is the dominant process in the 35-150 eV energy region. For photon energies between 35-45 eV discrete structure corresponding to 4d-np (n>4) transitions were obtained. Above the 4d ionisation threshold the spectra of Te I-Te III were found to be dominated by a 4d-ef shape resonance, which peaks at ~88 eV in each case. A transfer of oscillator strength from the resonance to discrete 4d-nf (n>3) transitions with increasing ionisation is clearly evident, and the 4d-4f transitions are the strongest features in the Te IV spectrum. Hartee-Fock with configuration interaction and time dependent local density approximation calculations successfully account for this behaviour and permit identification of the discrete features. The use of a prepulse to maximise the brightness of a tungsten continuum emitting plasma was also investigated.
