Fe15+ dielectronic recombination and the effects of configuration interaction between resonances with different captured electron principal quantum numbers

چکیده
Dielectronic recombination (DR) of Na-like Fe15+ forming Mg-like Fe14+ via excitation of a 2l core electron has been investigated. We find that configuration interaction (CI) between DR resonances with different captured electron principal quantum numbers n can lead to a significant reduction in resonance strengths for n 5. Previous theoretical work for this system has not considered this form of CI. Including it accounts for most of the discrepancy between previous theoretical and experimental results.

Dielectronic Recombination Calculations for Fe
Dielectronic recombination (DR) of Na-like Fe forming Mg-like Fe via excitation of a 2l core electron has been investigated. We find that configuration interaction (CI) between DR resonances with different captured electron principal quantum numbers n can lead to a significant reduction in resonance strengths for n ≥ 5.

متن کاملEffect of Interacting Resonances on Dielectronic Recombination in Static Fields
We find that the static field enhancement of dielectronic recombination may be strongly reduced by the interaction between resonances through common continua. The interaction effect is not limited to a few resonances but extends over whole n manifolds, thus it can significantly reduce the field enhancement of the total recombination rate. The standard lowest order theory is recast using a compl...
متن کاملRelativistic many-body calculation of low-energy dielectronic resonances in Be-like carbon
We apply the relativistic configuration-interaction method coupled with the many-body perturbation theory (CI+MBPT) to describe low-energy dielectronic recombination. We combine the CI+MBPT approach with the complex rotation method (CRM) and compute the dielectronic recombination spectrum for Li-like carbon, which recombines into Be-like carbon. We demonstrate the utility and evaluate the accur...
متن کاملDielectronic satellite spectra of heliumlike iron and nickel from the unified recombination method
It is shown that resonances in the unified recombination cross sections correspond directly to dielectronic satellite spectra. Positions, intensities, and profiles of satellite lines may be obtained accurately using the Breit-Pauli R-matrix method and the unified theory of total electron-ion recombination. The intrinsic dielectronic resonance strength corresponding to autoionizing resonances is...
متن کاملIntermediate-coupling calculations of the effects of interacting resonances on dielectronic recombination in a static electric field
Recently, we demonstrated that the enhancement of dielectronic recombination by an electric field, or crossed electric and magnetic fields, may be reduced by the interaction between resonances through a common continuum @Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 1402 ~1998!#. However, these calculations were carried out in a configurationaverage ~CA! approximation and the question then remained as to how these pred...
