It is shown that the photoabsorption spectra of Pb II and Bi III reported by Lu etal (2020 J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys. 53 115001) can be almost fully explained by photoabsorption from the levels of the ground state configuration with little reference to the photoabsorption from the levels of the excited configurations.

评论“Pb II 和 Bi III 的 5d → 6p EUV 光吸收光谱：激发态的证据”

结果表明，Lu等人(2020 J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys . 53 115001)报道的 Pb II 和 Bi III 的光吸收光谱几乎可以完全通过基态能级的光吸收来解释几乎没有参考激发配置水平的光吸收。
