Oscillator strengths and effective collision strengths for electron excitation of Mg VI

Electron-impact excitation of Sc II: collision strengths and effective collision strengths for fine-structure transitions

Accurate fine-structure atomic data for the Fe-peak elements are essential for interpreting astronomical spectra. There is a severe paucity of data available for Sc II, highlighted by the fact that no collision strengths are readily available for this ion. We present electron-impact excitation collision strengths and Maxwellian averaged effective collision strengths for Sc II. The collision str...

Oscillator strengths with pseudopotentials

The time-dependent local-density approximation (TDLDA) is shown to remain accurate in describing the atomic response of group IB elements under the additional approximation of using pseudopotentials to treat the effects of core electrons. This extends the work of Zangwill and Soven who showed the utility of the all-electron TDLDA in the atomic response problem.

Semiclassical calculation of oscillator-strengths

2014 Because they play a fundamental role in the calculation of bound electron stoppingpowers, photon mean free paths and electron impact-excitation cross-sections, there is a need for a convenient method to calculate oscillator strengths for highly charged ions. In this paper we describe a simple semiclassical approximation for electron matrix-elements and oscillator strengths. The method is t...

Oscillator strengths for neutral selenium and tellurium

Oscillator strengths for excitations of neutral selenium and tellurium from the ground state are calculated using a semiempirical analytic independent-particle-model. The results are compared to experimental and theoretical data.
