The multi-configuration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) method is implemented to study doubly excited 2s2p 1,3^P1 resonances of the helium atom and the interference between photoionization and photoexcitation autoionization processes. In order to reproduce the totM photoionization sprectra, the excited energies from the ground 1s^2 ^1S0 state to the doubly excited 2s2p 1,3^P1 states and the relevant Auger decay rates and widths are calculated in detail. Furthermore, the interference profile determined by the so-called Fano parameters q and p2 is also reproduced. Good agreement is found between the present results and other available theoretical and experimental results. This indeed shows a promising way to investigate the Fano resonances in photoionization of atoms within the MCDF scheme, although there are some discrepancies in the present calculations of the 2s2p 3^P1 state.
Abstract In this paper, the capabilities of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for rapid analysis to multi-component plant are illustrated using a 1064 nm laser focused onto the surface of folium lycii. Based on homogeneous plasma assumption, nine of essential micronutrients in folium lycii are identified. Using Saha equation and Boltzmann plot method electron density and plasma temperature are obtained, and their relative concentration (Ca, Mg, A1, Si, Ti, Na, K, Li, and Sr) are obtained employing a semi-quantitative method.
In this work, the KLL dielectronic recombination (DR) processes of highly charged He-like to O-like xenon ions are studied systematically by using a DR program, which is based on the multi-configuration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) method. The KLL DR resonant energies and the corresponding resonant strengths are calculated, emphasizing especially the effect of the Breit interaction on the DR strengths. The theoretical KLL DR spectra are obtained and compared with the latest experimental results obtained in the Shanghai Electron Beam Ion Trap.
This paper calculates the electron impact excitation rate coefficients from the ground term 2s^22p^2 3p to the excited terms of the 2s^22p^2, 2s^2p^3, 2s^22p3s, 2s^22p3p, and 2s^22p3d configurations of N II. In the calculations, multiconfiguration Dirac-Fork wave functions have been applied to describe the target-ion states and relativistic distorted-wave calculation has been performed to generate fine-structure collision strengths. The collision strengths are then averaged over a Maxwellian distribution of electron velocities in order to generate the effective collision strengths. The calculated rate coefficients are compared with available experimental and theoretical data, and some good agreements are found for the outer shell electron excitations. But for the inner shell electron excitations there are still some differences between the present calculations and available experiments.
The multi-configuration Dirac-Fock method is employed to calculate the transition energies, probabilities, and oscillator strengths for electric dipole allowed (El) and forbidden (M1, E2, M2) lines for the 3s^23p, 3s3p^2, 3s^23d, 3p^3, and 3s3p3d configurations of Fe XIV. The lifetimes of all 40 levels of these low-lying configurations are also derived. The valence valence and core-valence correlation effects are accounted for in a systematic way. Breit interactions and quantum electrodynamics (QED) effects are estimated in subsequent relativistic configuration interaction (CI) calculations. The present results are in good agreement with other available theoretical and experimental values, and therefore can be used for the further astrophysical investigations.
