Abstract
The diffusion coefficients for ground-state (2S12/) copper atoms in He, Ne and Ar and those for metastable (2D32/) copper atoms in Ne and Ar were determined experimentally. By producing copper vapour in a low-power hollow cathode discharge, measurements were performed near room temperature. The diffusion coefficients for Cu(2D32/) were approximately equal to the corresponding quantities for Cu(2S12/).
