Absolute Cross Sections for Near-Threshold Electron-Impact Excitation of the 2s^2S→2p^2P Transition of Li-Like C^3＋, N^4＋, and O^5＋ Ions

Excitation cross sections of 1s^22s ^2S1/2 → 1s^22p^2p1/2,3/2 transition among the fine-structure levels in Li-like C^3＋, N^4＋, and O^5＋ ions are calculated for energies of the near-threshold by using the relativistic distorted-wave program REIE06. The target state wavefunctions are calculated by using the Grasp92 code. The continuum orbitals are studied in the distorted-wave approximation, in which the direct and exchange potentials among all the electrons are included. The results of the Li-like C^3＋ ion settle the discrepancy between several previous experiments by using the crossed-beams fluorescence method, in good agreement with the measurements of Savin et al. Moreover, the results in Li-like N^4＋, and O^5＋ ions are compared with the previous experiments, and a good agreement is obtained.     

Relativistic Distorted-Wave Calculations of Electron Impact Excitation Cross Sections of Be-Like C2＋ Ions

A fully relativistic distorted-wave program is developed based on the Grasp92 and Ratip packages to calculate electron impact excitation （EIE） cross sections. As a first application of the program, the EIE cross sections of Be-like C^α＋ ions from the metastable 1s^22s2p^3 p to 1s^22p^2 ^3 p excitation and the inner-shell excitations are calculated systematically. Meanwhile, the correlation effects of target states are discussed. It is found that the correlation effects play an important role in the low energy EIE cross sections. An excellent agreement is found when the results are compared with previous calculations and recent measurements.     

Multi-Configuration Distorted-Wave Approximation in Electron-Impact Ionization of Ar^2＋

A quasi-relativistic distorted-wave approximation is developed to investigate the direct electron-impact ionization processes, in which the configuration interactions are considered in the initial and final states of target. As an example, the direct detailed-level electron-impact ionization cross sections for the ground and low excited states of Ar^6＋ （3s^2, 3p^2, 3s3d） are calculated in the energy range from 1.02 to 15Ith （ Ith the ionization threshold）. Comparison with the available data demonstrates that our results are reasonable. The effects of configuration interactions are discussed, and the validity of transformation principles by statistical weights between configuration-averaged and detailed-level electron-impact ionization cross sections is analysed.

The photoionization cross section is dominated by 2p - 3d resonances. The detailed resonance structures are described and analysed with the resonance positions, widths and oscillator strengths to be determined. Good agreement is obtained between the length and velocity forms of the resonance oscillator strengths. The relative difference is less than 8%.

Coupled-Channel Optical Calculations for e＋-Rb Collision at Intermediate Energies

We present the calculation of total cross sections for positron scattering by Rb at intermediate energies by using the coupled-channel optical method, in which an equivalent-local optical potential has been used to describe the continuum and rearrangement process. The present total cross sections are in good agreement with the measurements of Parikh et al. [Phys. Rev. A 47 （1993） 1535] and other theoretical calculation results. Our results show three peaks in the vicinity of 47eV, which have not been found in the previous measurements and theoretical calculations.     

Influence of electron correlations on double-capture process in proton helium collisions

The first-order correct-boundary Coulomb–Born distorted-wave approximation is used to study the double-electron capture by protons from the ground-state helium atoms at intermediate and high impact energies. The differential double capture cross sections are obtained as a function of the projectile scattering angle and the total cross sections as a function of the impact energy. In the considered range of impact energy, our calculation shows that although the results are not so sensitive to the static inter-electronic correlations in the initial channel, the strong final-state correlations have a large effect on the magnitudes of the double capture cross sections. The calculated differential and integral cross sections are compared with their available experimental values. The comparison shows a good agreement between the present calculations and the measurements. The comparison of the integral cross sections shows that the present approach is compatible with other theories.

Calculations are reported of cross sections of elastic scattering, total excitation and n=2, 3, and 4 excitations of ground-state helium for incident energies from 30~eV to 400~eV. The present calculation shows that the ionization and Ps-formation channels significantly affect the cross sections of elastic and inelastic positron--helium scatterings.     

Influence of relaxation effects on probabilities of the 2s2p35S2－2s22p2 3P1，2 intercombination transitions in NII

Transition probabilities of the 2s2p^3 {}^5S_2－2s^22p^2 {}^3P_{1,2} intercombination transitions in NII have been calculated by using a large-scale multiconfiguration Dirac－Fock method. In the calculation the most important effects of relativity, correlation, and relaxation are considered. From the calculated transition probabilities, the lifetime of the 2s2p^3 {}^5S_2 metastable state is derived. The result is in excellent agreement with the latest experimental result. In the meantime the influence of anomalously strong relaxation effects on probabilities of the 2s2p^3 {}^5S_2－2s^22p^2 {}^3P_{1,2} lines in NII have been found.

A method to deal with the electron impact excitation cross sections of an atom from low to high incident energies are presented. This method combines the partial wave method and the first Born approximation(FBA), i.e., replacing the several lowest partial wave cross sections of the total cross sections within FBA by the corresponding exact partial wave cross sections. A new set of codes are developed to calculate the FBA partial wave cross sections. Using this method,the convergent e–He collision cross sections of optical-forbidden and optical-allowed transitions at low to high incident energies are obtained. The calculation results demonstrate the validity and efficiency of the method.

The effect of the attractive well of the potential energy surface for Ne--HCl on rotationally inelastic partial wave cross sections

An interaction potential of the Ne-HC1 van der Waals complex is obtained by utilizing the Huxley analytic potential function to fit the accurate interaction energy data, which have been computed at the coupled cluster singles and doubles including connected triple excitations level and with the augmented correlation consistent polarized valence quintuple zeta basis set extended with a set of 3s3p2dlflg mid-bond functions [CCSD （T）/aug-cc-pV5Z-33211]. The close coupling calculation of state-to-state partial cross sections for collision of Ne with HC1 is first performed by employing the fitted interaction potential. This calculation is performed at the incident energies： 40, 60, 75 and 100 meV, separately. The effects of the long-range attractive and the short-range anisotropic interactions on the inelastic state-to-state partial cross sections are discussed in detail. Two maxima are present in the rotationally inelastic partial cross sections and they originate from different mechanisms.[第一段]     

Electron scattering by O2 at intermediate and high energies

A complex optical model potential correlated by the concept of bonded atoms, which considers the overlapping effect of electron clouds between two atoms in a molecule, is firstly employed to calculate the absolute differential cross sections, the integrated and momentum transfer cross sections for electrons scattered by O2 at intermediate and high energies by using additivity rule model at Hartree-Fock level. In the study,the complex optical model potential is composed of static, exchange, correlation polarization plus absorption contributions. The quantitative absolute differential cross sections, the integrated and momentum transfer cross sections are obtained. Compared with available experimental data, this approach presents good results. It is shown that the additivity rule model together with the complex optical model potential correlated by the concept of bonded atoms is completely suitable for the calculations of the absolute differential cross sections, the integrated and momentum transfer cross sections.
