The lowest excited level in Ni-like ions, 3d⁹4s ³D₃, decays only via a magnetic octupole (M3) decay. They present calculated values of transition wavelengths and rates for ions with 30 ≤ Z ≤ 100. They have observed this line in Xe{sup 26+}, using the Livermore EBIT-I electron beam ion trap and a microcalorimeter, as well as a high-resolution flat-field grating spectrometer.
