The effect of neutral nonresonant collisions on atomic spectral lines

The effect of neutral nonresonant collisions on the shape, shift, and intensity of atomic spectral-line profiles is reviewed. A general treatment for the study of an atomic spectral line is developed by establishing reasonable assumptions about the relevant collision processes and by finding an expression for the Fourier transform of the line profile. The authors look at parallel developments of other methods of calculation, consider special limits of practical interest, and illustrate numerical evaluations of complete line profiles. Interatomic potentials for use in line-profile calculations are described, and the problems imposed by nonadditivity and nonadiabaticity are also noted. The observation of line profiles by both conventional and tunable-laser techniques is surveyed. Representative experimental measurements of the widths and shifts of collision-broadened spectral line cores are tabulated, and the phenomena of satellites, oscillations, and power-law behavior of line wings are compared with theoretical expectations. The use of experimental results for the determination of excited atom-atom interactions, the prediction of collision broadening in stellar atmospheres, and the effect of foreign gases on laboratory standard wavelengths are also discussed.
