Abstract
IN the investigation of the asymmetrical broadening of atomic lines of inert gases, one usually neglects other perturbations such as the formation of unstable molecules from excited and normal atoms. Most molecules bound by Van der Waals forces produce bands on the shorter wave-length side of the line, while the external electric field shifts the line towards the longer wave-lengths.
