The radiative lifetimes of 72 odd-parity levels of neutral lanthanum are measured to±5%
accuracy using time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence on a slow atomic beam. The levels …

Calculated radiative transition probabilities and oscillator strengths are reported for 392
lines of neutral lanthanum (La I) atom in the spectral range from the near ultraviolet to the …

The branching fraction (BF) determinations were performed for 87 La i lines from 290.963 to
1078.646 nm based on the emission spectra of hollow cathode lamps recorded using the …

Natural radiative lifetimes for 60 excited levels of La i and La ii were measured using time-
resolved laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy in laser-induced plasma. The lifetimes of …

An accurate calculation of radiative lifetimes and transition probabilities of the first 21 odd
states with a total angular momentum J= 3/2 was performed for La I using configuration …

This thesis explores the expansion dynamics of multicomponent laser-induced plasmas as a
study of the 'stoichiometry issues' of pulsed laser deposition. Two techniques have been …

Experimental branching fractions of 65 lines in La i were measured based on grating
spectroscopy of a lanthanum hollow cathode lamp. Combining these branching fractions …

Je voudrais d'abord remercier mes deux promoteurs, Pascal Quinet et Patrick Palmeri, pour
leur encadrement, leur temps et leurs conseils durant toute la durée de cette these. Les …

The article presents the development of a new and innovative experimental method to fully
characterize a solenoidal" spin-flip" Zeeman slower (ZS) using a Quartz Crystal $\mu …

Radiative lifetimes are reported for 37 odd-parity energy levels of neutral niobium (Nb I), out
of which 33 have been measured for the first time. The levels belong to electronic …
