Superconfiguration widths and their effects on atomic models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Superconfigurations are an important component of many of the collisional-radiative atomic models that are used to predict the properties of atoms and ions in non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) plasmas. In this paper, we investigate the statistical properties of superconfigurations and derive expressions for their approximate average energies and energy variances based on one-electron orbital energies. We also explore the effects of using finite-width superconfigurations in screened hydrogenic and hybrid-structure atomic kinetics models. 2010 Published by Elsevier B.V.

A Model of Dense-plasma Atomic Structure for Equation-of-state Calculations
A model of dense plasmas relying on the superconfiguration approximation is presented. In each superconfiguration the nucleus is totally screened by the electrons in a Wigner-Seitz sphere (ion-sphere model). Superconfigurations of the same charge are grouped into ions. It is shown that boundary values of the wavefunctions play a crucial role in the form of the Virial theorem from which the pres...
متن کاملLattice dynamics and correlated atomic motion from the atomic pair distribution function
The mean-square relative displacements ~MSRD! of atomic pair motions in crystals are studied as a function of pair distance and temperature using the atomic pair distribution function ~PDF!. The effects of the lattice vibrations on the PDF peak widths are modelled using both a multi-parameter Born–von Karman ~BvK! force model and a single-parameter Debye model. These results are compared to exp...

In the present study, the optimization of pulsed Nd:YAG laser welding parameters was done on a lap-joint of a 316L stainless steel foil in order to predict the weld geometry through response surface methodology. For this purpose, the effects of laser power, pulse duration, and frequency were investigated. By presenting a second-order polynomial, the above-mentioned statistical method was manage...

The aim of this study is to evaluate reliability and validity of dental measurement made on dig...
متن کاملThe Dosimetric Effects of Different Multileaf Collimator Widths on Physical Dose Distributions
Introduction: Geometric changes in the multileaf collimator (MLC) led to dosimetric considerations in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) due to the number and size of the pixels in the intensity map, which are determined by the MLC leaf width. In this study, we evaluated the dosimetric effects of different MLC widths on physical dose distributions for IMRT plans. Materials and Method...
