Satellite Bands in the Spectra of Potassium—Foreign-Gas Mixtures

The collision-induced satellite bands in the spectra of K—foreign-gas mixtures were studied. The foreign gases were helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, nitrogen, isomers of pentane (n-pentane, isopentane, neopentane), and isomers of hexane (n-hexane, 3-methylpentane, 2,3-dimethylbutane, neohexane). The experimental results for argon, krypton, and xenon were compared with a recently proposed theory of the bands.
