Abstract
Two-color two-step resonance ionization spectroscopy of neodymium (Nd) was performed to identify more than 120 even-parity autoionizing levels and their candidate J-values. The analysis of the observed autoionizing Rydberg series yielded a value of 44,560.11 (43)stat (2)sys cm−1 as a more accurate ionization potential of Nd. The saturation method was used to measure the transition cross-sections for some intense ionization transitions. From the measured cross-sections, the ionization efficiencies of some two-step ionization schemes were evaluated using the scheme cross-section formula to obtain several promising schemes.
