Abstract

Measurements of extreme ultraviolet radiation from highly charged gadolinium ions were made at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The ions were produced and confined in an electron-beam ion trap (EBIT), and the spectra were recorded with a flat-field grazing-incidence spectrometer in the wavelength range 3–17 nm. Ionization stages from Rb-like to Cu-like gadolinium were selected by tuning the electron-beam energies between 0.97 and 1.7 keV. Strong intrashell n=4n=4 transitions were identified by performing detailed collisional-radiative modeling of the EBIT plasma. A total of 73 spectral features were recorded, including 59 new identifications.
