Stark broadening calculations of neutral copper spectral lines and temperature dependence

The aim of this work is to theoretically determine Stark broadening parameters of 5105.54, 5700.24, 5782.13, 3273.96 and 3247.54 Å neutral copper spectral lines. Our results are compared with available experimental and other theoretical data. The results obtained are also used for the continuation of our investigation of the temperature dependence of Stark widths of neutral atom spectral lines in order to improve existing methods for the scaling of Stark broadening parameters with temperature. © 2010 The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
