Current pulses of 30 ns full width at half maximum and peak currents of less than 70 kA produced plasmas with line emission from ions with charge up to the F-like state. Line emission at the wavelengths of the 3p-3s and 3d-3p transitions of the Ne-like ions has been observed.born digitalarticleseng©1993 American Physical Society.Copyright and other restrictions may apply.
