Radiative rates and electron impact excitation rate coefficients for H-like Fe XXVI

In this paper we report on calculations on energy levels, radiative rates, collision strengths, and effective collision strengths for transitions among the lowest 36 levels of the n≤6 configurations of H-like Fe XXVI. Flexible atomic code (FAC) is adopted for the calculation. Energy levels and radiative rates are calculated within relativistic configuration-interaction method. Direct excitation collision strength is calculated using relativistic distorted-wave approximation. Resonance contributions through the relevant He-like doubly excited n^′l^′n^″l^″ configurations with n^′≤7 and n^″≤75 are explicitly taken into account using the isolated process and isolated resonances approximation. We present the radiative rates, oscillator strengths, and line strengths for all electric dipole (E1), magnetic dipole (M1), electric quadrupole (E2), and magnetic quadrupole (M2) transitions among the 36 levels. Furthermore, collision strengths and effective collision strengths are reported for all the 630 transitions among the above 36 levels over a wide energy (temperature) range up to 25 keV . Extensive comparisons are made with earlier available results and the accuracy of the data is assessed.

Total dielectronic recombination rate coefficient for Co-like tungsten

Ab initio calculation of the total dielectronic recombination (DR) rate coefficient from the ground state 3s²3p⁶3d⁹(J=5/2) of Co-like tungsten is performed employing the relativistic distorted-wave approximation with configuration-interaction. The DR contributions mainly come from complex series 3d⁸4ln′l′. The complex series 3p⁵3d¹⁰n′l′, 3p⁵3d⁹4ln′l′ and 3d⁸5ln′l′ also contribute significantly to the total DR rates at relatively high electron temperatures. The l′ and n′ dependences of the partial rate coefficient are investigated. The inclusion of decays into autoionizing levels followed by radiative cascades (DAC) enlarges the total DR rate coefficients by a factor of about 10%. The level-by-level extrapolation method is developed to include DAC effects. The total DR rate coefficients are fitted to an empirical formula. It is shown that at temperatures above 2.5 keV the Burgess-Merts (BM) semiempirical formula can provide DR results with an accuracy of about 15%, whereas at electron temperatures below 100 eV it underestimates the DR rate coefficients by up to a few orders of magnitude and its temperature dependence is completely inadequate. The comparison of the results for Ni-like and Co-like tungsten shows that these two sets of DR rate coefficients are very close in magnitude at relatively high electron temperatures.

Saturated X-ray lasing in Ni-like Sn at 11.9 nm using the GRIP scheme

We report on gain-saturated operation of the 11.9 nm X-ray lasing line in Ni-like Sn using the grazing-incidence pumping scheme (GRIP). The experiments were done with 2-ps duration pump pulses and energies up to 5 J. Strong gain saturation with multi-microjoule output was measured for the Sn laser at a grazing angle of 30° and a pump pulse energy of 3 J. This was achieved with a 4.5%, 2-ps duration prepulse 2.4 ns ahead of the main pulse and also incident at grazing incidence. Increasing laser output was observed at GRIP angles up to 45°. At this angle, the minimum energy required for saturated lasing was determined as ∼2 J.

Electron impact excitation rate coefficients for Ni-like gadolinium

A detailed and large-scaled calculation is performed on the total electron impact excitation rate coefficients from the ground state to the 106 fine-structure levels in 3l^-14l^′ of Ni-like Gd³⁶⁺ employing the relativistic configuration-interaction distorted-wave approximation. The resonance contributions from 3l¹⁷4l^′n^′′l^′′ and 3l¹⁷5l^′n^′′l^′′ doubly-excited states of Cu-like Gd³⁵⁺ are taken into account using the isolated process and isolated resonances approximation. The effects of the radiative decays from the resonances are investigated carefully and are found to be significant. The present rate coefficients, as well as the collision strength, are compared extensively with the previously published results. We believe our results should be more accurate and reliable.

Relativistic calculations of electron-impact ionization for highly charged hydrogen-like ions

Electron-impact ionization cross-sections and rate coefficients of the 1s ground state for H-like C, O, Mg, Ar, Fe, Cu, As, Kr, Y, Mo ions with incident electron energies up to 15 times the ionization threshold energy have been systematically calculated by the relativistic distorted-wave Born exchange (DWBE) approximation. The comparison of the result with the experimental data, other theoretical calculations and recommended values shows the very good agreement. The influence from relativistic and the lowest order QED effect in the calculation is discussed. The calculated ionization cross-sections are fitted by empirical formulas. These fits can be readily integrated over a relativistic Maxwellian electron distribution function to obtain rate coefficient for plasma modeling.     

Theoretical research on enhancement of gain for Ni-like Ag 13.9nm x-ray laser using a new two-layer target

For experiments such as on Ni-like Ag x-ray laser, driven by 1\omega laser, the gain region is only several~nm depth near the target surface, this paper proposes a new two-layer target, in which a thin layer (several nm depth) of silver is plated on the surface of some other materials. Furthermore, the Ni-like Ag 13.9~nm x-ray laser produced by three new kinds of two-layer target with CH, Al and Ge as foundation, was theoretically studied.

采用全相对论扭曲波方法,系统地计算了类铍N³⁺和 O⁴⁺离子从基态到2s2p和2p² 的各激发态以及从亚稳态到2p²各激发态的电子碰撞激发截面,详细地讨论了靶态的关联效应对激发截面的影响.结果表明：对于2s-2p的单电子激发,在低能碰撞时,靶态的电子关联效应起非常重要的作用,且使得激发截面降低;而高能碰撞时,靶态波函数的描述对连续态波函数的影响比较小,对激发截面影响也比较小.对于2s²-2p²的双电子激发,其中基态2s²¹S₀到J=0的2p²³P₀,¹S₀的激发截面较大,其主要原因是末离子态波函数与基组态波函数的混合,但是其他几个激发的激发截面较小. 关键词： 全相对论扭曲波方法 电子碰撞激发 电子关联效应     

Extending the excitation sculpting concept for selective excitation

Nowadays, excitation sculpting is probably the most efficient way to achieve selectivity in an NMR experiment, since it associates very clean frequency selection with "user-friendliness." In the present report, it is shown that the excitation sculpting concept, originally based on a double pulse field gradient echo acting on a selected transverse magnetization, can be extended through new experiments designed to act on longitudinal magnetization. This leads to outstanding performances, especially when the transverse relaxation rate is a limiting factor as, for example, in the case of biological macromolecules. Several new sequences are proposed, aiming at the selection of magnetization aligned either/both on a transverse axis or/and on the z-axis. Their potentialities are illustrated in light of different applications including multiplet-selective excitation, band-selective excitation, and water suppression.
