Abstract:
Excitation cross sections and rate coefficients by electron impact were calculated for the I s^2 2s - I s2s2p, I s^2 2s - Is2s^2 and Is^2 2s - I s2p^2 transitions of the Li-like ions (CIV, NV, OVI, NeVIII, MgX, A1XI, SiXII, SXIV, ArXVI, CaXVIII, TiXX, FeXXIV, NiXXVI, ZnXXVIII, GeXXX, SeXXXII, KrXXXIIV and MoXXXX) in the Coulomb-Bom approximation with exchange including relativistic effects and configuration interaction. Level energies, mixing coefficients and transition wavelengths and probabilities were also computed. Calculations performed by the 1/Z perturbation theory and Coulomb-Born approximation are compared with the R- matrix method and the distorted-wave approximation were Z is the nuclear charge. Formulae obtained for the angular factors of n-electron atomic system allow one to generalize this method to an arbitrary system of highly charged ions.
