Abstract
Dielectronic recombination (DR) cross sections and rate coefficients are calculated for the isonuclear sequence FeZ+, with Z = 21, 20, 19, 18, 17, and 16, in which L-shell (2p-) excitations are involved during the initial capture. Most of the dominant transitions with Δn ≠ 0, using angular momentum average (AMA) approximation, are considered. It is found that the states 3pnd and 3dnd contribute most to the rate coefficients. In addition, the rates are found to increase with increasing number of electrons in the ion, (i. e. as Z decreases). Moreover, the rate coefficients, αDR, for the studied ions are found to peak around the same energy (kT = 30 Ry). A semi-empirical formula for the total rates α is obtained for the 2p-excitation with Δn ≠ 0 in the case of FeZ+ ions. On comparing both results, the explicit calculations and the results obtained from the semiempirical formula, good agreement is found. The available results for αDR may be considered as a database for future comparison with experimental and theoretical calculations. Comparison of our results with other results show the effect of the empirical rate formula.
