Abstract
We have investigated the afterglow decay rates of the Zn II laser lines in spontaneous emission. Measurements indicate that the dominant mechanism for excitation of these lines is thermal-energy charge-transfer collisions between zinc atoms and both atomic and molecular ions of helium.Keywords
