Abstract
SynopsisA detailed investigation of Si-like dielectronic recombination is performed for the entire Si-like isoelectronic sequence using a perturbative multi-configurational Breit-Pauli method.
Highlights
The computed Maxwellian-averaged DR rate coefficients for the entire silicon-like isoelectronic sequence are shown in Fig. 1 and compared with the earlier recommended data of [3, 4], as incorporated in all previous plasma models
We present total and final-state level-resolved DR rate coefficients for the silicon-like ions from P+ through Zn16+, relevant to the modelling of astrophysical and laboratory plasmas, and for the ions Kr22+, Mo28+ and Xe40+ that are important in fusion research
Our calculations were performed using the atomic structure and collision code AUTOSTRUCTURE [1, 2], a perturbative multi-configurational Breit-Pauli (MCBP) method that relies on the independent proceses, isolated resonance, distorted-wave (IPIRDW) approximation
Summary
The computed Maxwellian-averaged DR rate coefficients for the entire silicon-like isoelectronic sequence are shown in Fig. 1 and compared with the earlier recommended data of [3, 4], as incorporated in all previous plasma models.
