Preface

This book provides the first comprehensive presentation of reference data on the radiative and collisional characteristics of multicharged positive ions: energy levels and transition probabilities, effective cross sections and corresponding rate coefficients of different elementary processes occurring in hot laboratory and astrophysical plasmas. Such data are required by plasma physicists and astrophysicists who deal with X -ray spectroscopy, thermonuclear fusion, laserproduced plasmas, modelling of plasma properties and the development of VUV and X-ray lasers, etc. The contents of the book can roughly be divided into two main parts. The first part contains the data on energy levels, wavelengths, Lamb shifts, transition probabilities and other spectroscopic characteristics of multicharged ions. In the second part the experimental and theoretical values of the cross sections and corresponding transition rate coefficients are given for excitation, ionization, charge transfer, dielectronic recombination and other processes involving multicharged ions. The book contains a large number of figures, tables and easily understood formulas which permit one to estimate atomic characteristics without complicated computer calculations. We would like to thank all those who contributed to the preparation of this volume. We especially thank L.P. Presnyakov, L.A Vainshtein, R. Schuch, E.A. Yukov, AM. Umov, D.B. Uskov, AA Papchenko, 0.1. Tolstikhin and Yu.P. Garbusov for useful discussions and for communicating the results of their calculations. It is a pleasure to thank E. Salzbom from the Giessen University (Germany) for providing useful experimental data on electron-ion-atom collisions. Thanks go also to N.S. Strusevitch for his skilful assistance in computer work and T.A Shergina for her valiant work in preparing the figures for this book. Mendeleevo Moscow February 1994

1 Introduction

The physics of multicharged ions (or highly ionized atoms) is one of the most dynamic areas in modem atomic physics. The spectra of these ions contain important information about plasma macroparameters (electron and ion temperature and density, charge-state distribution, etc.) and, therefore, provide an important diagnostic tool for the investigation of hot laboratory and astrophysical plasmas. As a diagnostic tool high-resolution spectroscopy of multicharged ions has proved to be an extremely useful, and sometimes, even the only possible method for measuring these parameters. The novel techniques, involving recoil ions from ion-atom collision experiments or very highly ionized atoms from modem ion sources (EBIS (Electron Beam Ion Source), EBIT (Electron Beam Ion Trap), ECR (Electron Cyclotron Resonance), storage rings, etc.) have been successfully tested. Recent advances in heavy-ion-beam technology make it possible to produce very highly ionized atoms up to fully stripped uranium U92 + in the very wide kinetic energy range from a few eV up to more than 20 Ge V. The spectra of multicharged ions possess a number of specific properties, essentially distinguishing them from the spectra of neutrals. Among these properties one should mention the following: (i) the shift of radiation spectra to the VUV and X-ray spectral region, (ii) the growth of the ionization potentials up to several hundred or even thousand eV, (iii) an increase of the multiplet splitting proportionally to Z4, where z is a spectroscopic symbol of an ion, (iv) a deviation from the LS-scheme of the angular momentum coupling towards an intermediate and j j -coupling scheme, (v) an increase of the spectral line intensities, corresponding to forbidden transitions due to relativistic effects, (vi) the presence of so-called satellite lines in spectra of multicharged ions, connected with the radiative decay of autoionizing states. The long-range Coulomb force of an ion influences also the collisional properties of multicharged ions. The cross sections are proportional to the factor za. For electron-ion and ion-ion collisions a < 0, while for ion-atom, ionmolecular and radiative processes a > O. In some cases the factor a can be even much larger than unity. Therefore, the cross sections involving multicharged ions strongly depend on the collision partner. V. G.

1 Introduction

Research on the spectroscopy of multicharged ions and collision mechanisms taking place in plasmas is strongly motivated by a number of reasons. Highly charged ions constitute a new regime for theory since the interactions, which are small in neutral atoms, dominate in these systems and relativistic and Quantum Electrodynamical (QED) effects become to be significantly large. Therefore, the usual perturbation approaches may become inadequate in theoretical treatments. High temperatures or intense photon fluxes create highly charged ions in astrophysical objects, such as solar corona, X-ray emitting binary stars, supernova remnants, etc. The atomic characteristics of these ions determine X-ray and UV spectra, as well as heating and cooling rates and opacities of the objects [1.1]. The presence of highly ionized species in plasmas presents a significant energy-loss mechanism in fusion devices, but, on the other hand, is used for diagnostic purposes [1.2]. The structure and spectra of highly charged ions in laboratory plasmas has been the subject of several reviews and monographs from an experimental [1.3-7] and a theoretical [1.8-10] point of view. The intensified spectroscopic research of some selected isoelectronic sequences are caused by the interest to develop X-ray and VUV lasers [1.11-13]. Atomic and interaction physics, including electron-ion, ion-atom and ionion collisions, has also dramatically developed. The experimental and theoretical problems of elementary processes, involving multicharged ions, have been considered in several monographs [1.14-18] and conference proceedings devoted to the physics of highly charged ions [1.19,20]. The need of recommended data for different physical applications has lead to the creation of several large atomic data banks organized for storage and exchange of radiative and collisional characteristics of multicharged ions. Among them are the NIST data banks [1.21], the Belfast Atomic data bank [1.22], the Opacity Project data bank [1.23], ALADDIN (IAEA) [1.24], AMSTORE [1.25] and others. The development and availability of such supercomputer facilities made it possible to create computer codes for calculation, with high accuracy, of the atomic wavefunctions, energy levels, transition probabilities, cross sections and rate coefficients: the codes SUPERSTRUCTURE [1.26], MCHF [1.27], AUTOSTRUCTURE [1.28], CATS [1.29], GRASP [1.30], AUTOLSJ [1.31], ATOM, MZ [1.18] and others. The aim of the present book is to try to cover the spectroscopic and collisional data of multicharged ions in a broad field (energy levels, transition probabilities, cross sections and rate coefficients for different elementary processes, etc.). The material is presented in a brief form giving the scaling laws for different characteristics as well as the universal figures and tables. The detailed description of the experimental techniques is outside the scope of this book, but necessary references are presented.

2 Atomic Structure and Spectra

2.1 Classification of Spectral Lines In this chapter, the spectral characteristics of few-electron highly charged ions are considered on the basis of relativistic and Quantum Electro Dynamic (QED) theories: energy levels, Lamb shifts, binding energies, transition probabilities and others. It comprises detailed tables of these characteristics obtained from experiment or sophisticated theoretical calculations. 2.1.1 Notations We will call multicharged ions those ions which have the spectroscopic symbol z > 5, where

z=Z-N+1.

(2.1.1)

Here, Z is the nuclear charge of the ion and N is the total number of electrons. The spectroscopic symbol coincides with the Coulomb charge of the ion at large distances U(r) ---+ -z/r,

r ---+ 00.

(2.1.2)

For positive ions z > 1, for neutrals z = 1. Ions are often designated as Xz

= X(z-l)+

(2.1.3)

so the difference between the spectroscopic symbol and the ion charge is unity. In spectroscopy the roman notations are also used for z. For example, the ion Fe 25 + is written as Fe XXVI, the neutral Fe atom is Fe I. The spectroscopic symbol is an important quantity used as a scaling factor for many atomic characteristics: wavelengths, transition probabilities, cross sections and rate coefficients. Ions with a given number of electrons N, arranged in increasing order of Z, belong to the isoelectronic sequence of the corresponding atom A and are termed A-like ions or [A]-ions. For example, for N == 1 one has hydrogen-like ions [H], for N = 2 helium-like ions, etc. The spectral line corresponds to the radiation of an ion which makes a transition from the excited state to the lower one. The energy terms are usually described by the LS-coupling scheme in the form (2.1.4) V. G. Pal'chikov et al., Reference Data on Multicharged Ions © Spring-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1995

where L and S are the angular and spin momenta, and J is the total momentum of an ion. The LS-coupling scheme is used when the electrostatic interaction in an ion is much larger than the relativistic (spin-orbit and others) ones: Vel»

and the jj-coupling is used with another notation. In the case Vrel ~ Vel the states are described by the so-called intermediate coupling scheme (see [2.1, 2]). In this book we will mainly use the LS-coupling scheme. Figure 2.1 shows a smooth transformation from LS- to jj-coupling for low-lying configurations in Be-like ions. Transitions with I~SI = 1 are called intercombination transitions. Transitions which are not allowed by the selection rules (Sect. 3.1) are called forbidden transitions. Notations used for electric (EK) and magnetic (MK) 2K-pole transitions are given in Table 2.1.

2.1.2 Satellites The spectra of multicharged ions are much reacher as compared to those of neutrals because of the presence of so-called satellite lines arising from the radiation decay of autoionizing states, where two or more electrons are excited. Such states lie above the ionization limit and are created by either direct excitation of the inner-shell electron

or by a capture of a free electron

(2.1.8)

The radiative decay of an ion in reaction (2.1.8) leads to the dielectronic recombination process (Sect. 4.2): (2.1.9) Let ao and al denote the sets of quantum numbers of an ion X z in the initial and final states, respectively. The satellite to transition al-ao is called the line corresponding to transition aInl-aonl of an ion Xz-I, where nl are the quantum numbers of an electron-observer. For example, 1s2pnl-ls2nl transitions in Li-like ions are the satellites to the resonance line in He-like ions Is2p-ls2. The lines arising in dielectronic recombination (2.1.8,9) are called the dielectronic satellites. The number of excited electrons in autoionizing states can be more than two; for example, in Be-like ions the following autoionizing states are possible: Is2s 22p, Is2s2p2, Is2p 3, ... , Isnln'I'n"I", .... In highly charged ions the wavelengths of satellites are very close to the "parent" line and their intensities increase with increasing z. Therefore, in each spectral interval one has a large number of spectral lines of comparable intensity. Figure 2.2 shows a typical example of dielectronic satellite spectra of He-like Fe XXV ions observed in tokamak plasmas. The notations for basic spectral lines in H- and He-like ions and corresponding dielectronic satellites are given in Tables 2.2a and 2.2b. The spectral lines in He-like ions and their satellites are usually identified using the Gabriel's notations [2.5] .

In the Dirac theory, the levels with different I = j ± 1/2 have equal energy according to (2.2.3). However, this degeneration is taken off due to the radiative corrections connected with QED effects: Lamb shift, vacuum polarization and others. The radiative corrections are of the order of a(lna)E, « E,. 2.2.2 Self-Energy The EQEO term consists of three parts: Self-Energy (SE), Vacuum Polarization (VP) and anomalous Magnetic Moment (MM). For multicharged ions, the dominant QED-corrections are given by the lowest-order (in a) self-energy and vacuum polarization terms. The lowest-order QED-shift has the form: EQEo(nlj) =

The uncertainty of (2.2.4) rapidly increases with increasing Z. For low and intermediate Z, sophisticated methods [2.10-12] give EQED =

The corresponding values for the vacuum polarization contributions are presented in Sect. 2.2.3. The contribution of the binding effects of the higher orders in a Z is described by the function G(aZ) in (2.2.8). The dominant source of theoretical uncertainty (2.2.8) arises from the SE-part of the function G(aZ), i.e. G(aZ) = GSE(aZ)

(2.2.9)

where Gvp(aZ) is the VP-part of the function G(aZ) (Sect. 2.2.3). For example, in [2.10] the function GSE(aZ) is presented in the form (by analogy with the corresponding high-order terms in the vacuum polarization) GSE(aZ) = a

where the coefficients a, band c were determined by the interpolation method using accurate calculations for Z = 10,20 and 30 [2.10]. The coefficients a, b and c are given in Table 2.4. The corresponding value for 2S1/2-2Pl/2 splitting in H-like ions with 1 ~ Z ~ 40 is presented in the form GSE(aZ) = -24.1

The GSE(aZ)-value was calculated in [2.17] using the Green's function method in the non-relativistic form. The result obtained, GSE(aZ) = -24.9 ± 0.9 for aZ « I, agrees with the data in [2.10].

*The first uncertainty in the experimental data is due to the experimental uncertainty. and the second one is due to the uncertainty of the theoretical nuclear size

Since the main theoretical error in (2.2.8) arises from the self-energy part GSE of G(aZ), it is of interest to assume that the other terms in (2.2.8) are correct, and to extract an experimental value for GSE. The results are given in Table 2.5. The main sources of error in estimating GSE(aZ) are the uncertainty in the nuclear size corrections and the corresponding experimental error. The self-energy correction is strongly dependent on Z and has to be calculated non-perturbatively [without an expansion on parameter a Z in the general expression (2.2.7)] to achieve a good accuracy for high nuclear charge Z. The first exact self-energy calculations were performed in [2.19] (level shift of the ISI/2 state for Z = 80) and in [2.20] (the level shift of inner-shell electrons in the Coulomb and the screened Coulomb potentials for heavy atoms with Z = 70-90). Assuming point-like nuclei, the energy levels for some lowest states with principal quantum number n = 1 or n = 2 and Z in the range Z = 10,20, ... , 110 was calculated in [2.10,16,21]. High precision calculations [2.10,16] are valid of the order of a and of all orders of the parameter aZ. The numerical results are given in Table 2.6 in terms of the function FSE(aZ) which is defined by F(aZ) = FSE(aZ)

+ Fyp(aZ),

(2.2.16)

where Fvp(aZ) is the vacuum-polarization contribution (Sect. 2.2.3). A similar expression FSE(aZ) for other Z-values is given by [2.22]: FSE(aZ) =

of the nucleus [2.35,31] and for the states with n = 1 to 5 for a point charge Z ranging from 10 to 137. The calculations significantly reduce the ambiguity in the theoretical estimates of the energy levels of multicharged ions. An analytical expression for the asymptotic expansion of the polarization potential at large distances from the nucleus was obtained in [2.31]. The corresponding results are listed in Tables 2.9 and 2.10, respectively, in terms of the functions F~~+) and F~~ which are defined as: vp

where F~~+)(aZ « 1) is defined in (2.2.23). A comparison of the energy shift F.g,+)(aZ), calculated in [2.35] with nuclear size corrections and in [2.31] with a point-like nucleus, shows that the difference in F.g,+)(aZ) for Z = 80 to Z = 100 ranges from 6% to 10%.

2.2.4 Finite Nuclear-Mass and Nuclear-Size Corrections In the general formula (2.2.1) the correction ER(n) is required because the relativistic two-body problem does not reduce exactly to an equivalent reducedmass single-particle Coulomb problem. ER(n)is given approximately by [2.36]: JL2 a 4Z4

(2.2.36)

where m and M are the electronic and nuclear masses, respectively and JL is the reduced mass. This correction depends only on the principal quantum number n, and hence does not give a contribution to the Lamb shift. The contribution to the energy shift (2.2.1) of the effects associated with the finite size of the nucleus is determined by the non-relativistic formula [2.6,12]: ENS

The finite nuclear-size corrections to the s-state energy levels of H-like ions are calculated up to the order of a 4 Z6 in [2.37], where additional contributions of the orders of a 2Z4, a 3Z5, a 4Z6 and a 4Z 6 10g(a Z) have been determined. These corrections have been separated into terms of non-relativistic and relativistic orders.

The leading relativistic corrections in (2.2.38-41) agree with the calculation in [2.37]. For example, for the hydrogen atom (Z = 1) the calculation of the Lamb shift for the transition 2SI/2-2PI/2 using (2.2.6) with allowance for QED corrections of higher orders of a gives [2.38]: E2SI/2 -

{ I 057 .849(11)MHz,

1057.867(11)MHz,

The correction ER ~ 0.125 MHz for (r2) 1/2 = 0.805(11) fm is used. A larger value, (r2}1/2 = 0.862(12) fm, correspondingly increases the contribution of the correction ENS to the Lamb shift (~ 0.146 MHz). It follows from the foregoing that a 10 percent change in the rms proton radius affects the Lamb-shift value within the range of uncertainty of the best experimental measurements [2.9]. The corresponding numerical analysis for the H-like Arl7+ ion is presented below. There are also significant finite-size corrections to the self-energy and vacuum-polarization terms calculated for H-like ions with 1 ::;; Z ::;; 110 in [2.27]. Relativistic recoil corrections, the term EM in (2.2.1), are of the order of Zm/ M relative to the lowest-order radiative correction (self energy and vacuum polarization). In contrast to correction (2.2.36), the order (a Z)5 m 2/ M corrections do contribute to the Lamb shift in H-like ions and were obtained in the form [2.12,13]: 8a 3 Z 4 EM = Ry 31l"n 3 -0/,0/3

The Lamb shift of the transition 2S I/ 2-2PI/2 is mainly associated with QED corrections because, as has been pointed out before, according to oneelectron Dirac theory, levels with the same principal quantum number n and equal total angular momentum j are degenerate. The theoretical contributions to the Lamb shift are self-energy, vacuum polarization, the nuclear-size effect, reduced mass and relativistic recoil effects. Including all contributions listed in the preceding sections, the 2SI/2-2PI/2 Lamb shift for H-like ions can be expressed as f:l.E2SI/2 -

This expression is obtained from [2.12] with addition for a 4 Z 5 m/M corrections as well as a previously calculated a 2Z4 (m / M)2 correction [2.38]. The various theoretical contributions to the Lamb shift of the 2SI/2-2PI/2 transition for the hydrogen atom and H-like argon are given in Table 2.11. These values were obtained from [2.27]. Analogous results for the ground-state energy level of H-like uranium are given in Table 2.12. In Fig. 2.4 the various contributions to the 2S I / 2-2PI/2 Lamb shift as functions of nuclear charge Z are shown. As can be seen from Fig. 2.4 the selfenergy and the vacuum polarization are the dominant contributions to the Lamb Table 2.11.

shift for low and intermediate values of Z. However, for Z ~ 100 the nuclear finite-size corrections become as -important as the self-energy contribution. Experimental results and theoretical calculations for the Lamb shift for neutral hydrogen and H-like ions are compared in Tables 2.13 and 2.14, respectively. The theoretical uncertainty listed with each Lamb-shift value is the quadrature sum of the contribution uncertainties. The experimental Lamb-shift values for high-Z H-ions have a much larger error than those for hydrogen and helium (Fig. 2.5). The latest experimental information on the Lamb shift of 1 ~ Z ~ 18 H-like ions is also presented in this figure. There is good agreement between theory and experiment at the level of about 1% for H-like ions with Z > 3. In Table 2.15 the theoretical values of wavelengths and transition probabilities for the transitions nPl/2-1S1/2 and nP3/2-1S1/2 are given. A comparison of the wavelengths with the experimental results are given in Table 2.16. For these transitions, the main theoretical component is the energy separation predicted by the Dirac equation (2.2.1). The effects of quantum electrodynamics, analogous to the Lamb-shift corrections, are also significant at the modem level of experimental precision. In some of these measurements (for example, in H-like krypton [2.39]) the quantum-electrodynamical effects are increased to about the 10% level. Experimental results of wavelengths in H-like magnesium together with theoretical data are presented in Table 2.17.

into account correlation, relativistic and QED effects simultaneously. The two latter corrections rapidly increase with increasing nuclear charge Z, for example, the Lamb shift is proportional to Z4. The relative contribution of the Lamb shift to the total non-relativistic energy is: ~ 0.002% for He (Z = 2), ~ 0.8% for Ar 16+ (Z = 18) and 9% for Xe52+ (Z = 54) [2.13]. For ions with low

and intennediate Z, a reasonable approach is to obtain the accurate solutions of the non-relativistic Schroedinger equation with inclusion of the relativistic corrections by perturbation theory. For He-like ions with Z ~ 10 the accurate variational calculations of the energy for the ground state ls2 1 So and for lsns 1,3 S, lsnp 1,3 P states (2 ~ n ~ 5) are presented in [2.56]. For high-Z ions the accurate results are obtained by the exact solution of the one-electron Dirac equation with inclusion of correlation and QED-corrections by perturbation theory. In particular, the method of expansion in the parameter 1/ Z provides the inclusion of the higher-order relativistic effects and radiative corrections [2.57,58]. The extensive numerical calculations using the expansion in l/Z and (aZ)2 are given in [2.59-65]. Numerical calculations based in the multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock approximation are given in [2.66-67]. Series of semiempirical formulas for S, P, D and F states of He-like spectra of Na X to Ar XVII ions are presented in [2.68]. The relativistic generalization of the random phase approximation is developed in [2.69]. This approach gives good results for ions with Z ) 30 which are described by the j j -coupling. In practice, all calculations use some expansion methods in which only a limited number of tenns is retained. The total energy of the He-like ions can be written as a double expansion in parameters A = l/Z and aZ [2.57,58]: 00

Here HD(i) is the Dirac single-particle Hamiltonian [2.6]. Bp consists of the electron-electron interaction in the Breit-Pauli approximation [2.6], and two terms Vl 2 and B are the Coulomb interaction and the relativistic form of the Breit interaction including retardation, respectively. The subscripts LS and jj in (2.2.49) denote the coupling scheme in which the corresponding matrix elements are evaluated. R is the jj -+ LS recoupling-transformation matrix. The matrix t::.. is the correction and is counted twice in the first two terms. For example, the matrix R for Is2p 3PI and Is2p I PI is:

and 0 is the singlet-triplet mixing angle. For low Z, T -+ 1 (LS-coupling) since HNR» Bp; for high Z, T -+ R- I (jj-coupling) since HD» V12+B. For the states non-degenerate in zero order, such as the ground state Is2 I So and the excited states Is2p 3Po, Is2s 3SI, etc., T = 1. Thus, the final diagonalization of the matrix (2.2.49) produces an intermediate coupling scheme of the two states. Numerical calculations of the mixing angle 0 for some states in He-like ions are presented in Table 2.18 and in Fig. 2.6, showing that the states Is2p 3PI and Is2p I PI are progressively mixed by the spin-dependent interactions in H (2.2.49) as Z increases until ultimately the jj-coupling limit is reached at high Z [2.13].

results for Is 21 So-ls2p 3 PI and Is2 I So-ls2p I PI transitions with 2 :( Z :( 120 are given in [2.59], for the Is2s 3 SI -ls2p 3 Po and Is2s 3 SI-ls2p 3 P2 transitions and Z :( 50 in [2.60] and for transition energies including Is3d I D2 and Is3d 3 DO.I.2 states with high Z in [2.70]. The precision variational eigenvalues in neutral He are given in [2.71,72]. As mentioned before, the general expression (2.2.49) does not conclude the set of corrections associated with the nuclear-size correction, mass-polarization and QED effects. The mass-polarization correction EM (analogously to the ER-correction in H-like ion) is connected with the non-separability of the wave equation for a two-electron ion. This correction is defined by m

EM = - M (PI' P2),

where (PI' P2) is the expectation value for the product of the linear momenta of the two electrons. The mass -polarization correction was calculated for the isotopes corresponding to each Z in the He-like isoelectronic sequence. The precision results for EM are tabulated in [2.56] for S and P states in He-like ions up to Z = 10; high values up to Z = 100 are considered in [2.73]. The finite nuclear-size correction, constructed on the H-like approximation together with relativistic effects and two-electron corrections, can be written in the form [2.73]

The function G(aZ) and coefficients Aij and B40 were presented in Sect. 2.2.2. The term Ln[L(1snL;2S+1 L)/Z 2Ry] is the Z-independent part of the two-electron Bethe logarithm. The shift (2.2.58) is the main QED contribution. If (8(r») in (2.2.58) is replaced by the H-like value (i.e. the leading term in the 1/ Z expansion), then (2.2.58) reduces to the corresponding expression for H-like ions [(2.2.7) in Sect. 2.2.2]. The second term in (2.2.59) is the J -independent part of the two-electron QED correction [2.76,77]: (2) = a 3Ry [ (8 (r12») (28 3 Lna

The main uncertainty in calculating (2.2.58) arises from the two-electron Bethe logarithm. The accurate variational calculations for the ground and exited states of He and He-like ions up to Z = 10 has been calculated in [2.77]. The corresponding numerical results for the ground state of the He-like ions are given in Table 2.20. The Bethe logarithm was calculated from the screened H -like approximation in [2.80]: Ln [L (lsnL;2S+1 L)

and the screening constants (1 can be expressed in terms of the Z-expansion theory. The hydrogenic Bethe logarithms are presented in [2.7]. The numerical values for some low-lying S and P-states of He-like ions have been obtained in [2.80] in the form: Ln [L(I I S)/RY] = Ln [19.7693(Z - 0.00615)2] ,

These values are in good agreement with the precision theoretical variational data [2.77]. The_leading term in the Z-expansion of the vacuum-polarization correction has been calculated in [2.54,81]: Evp = _Ry_8_ a3z4 (1 + 15rr

The significant corrections (absolute values) to the ground state of He-like ion~ are presented in Fig. 2.7. for illustrating the Z-dependence and for comparing the relative importance of the various contributions. The theoretical wavelengths for levels with n = 2 are given in Tables 2.25-26 for 2:::; Z :::; 92.

2.2.6 Li-Iike Ions The perturbation-theory approach described in the previous section has an extension to the case of few-electron ions that is a generalization of non-relativistic many-electron perturbation theory. Consider the resonance transitions ls22s l / 2-1s 22PI/2.3/2 in Li-like ions. These transitions have been observed for all ions with Z ~ 20 and for ions with Z = 22, 24-26, 28, 29, 32, 34, 36, 42, 54, 92 (solar spectra [2.89,90], Tokamak plasma [2.91,92], laser-produced plasmas [2.93]). Due to the volume limitation other isoelectronic sequences are not presented here. Theory and experiments in highly ionized atoms containing four

or more electrons are the subject of several reviews (for example, [2.94-97] and references therein). The precision results of the variational calculations for neutral lithium and Li-like ions up to Z = 8 are given in [2.98,99]. The liZ-expansion perturbation method is applied in [2.100-102] to obtain the resonance transition energies. Numerical Dirac-Fock and multi-configuration Dirac-Fock calculations are presented in [2.103,104], respectively. The semiempirical fit to the experimental data is presented in [2.105], the screening approximations are discussed in [2.106]. A more sophisticated method is Many-Body Perturbation Theory (MBPT) [2.107,108]. The accurate calculations for transitions in ions with Z = 3-92 were performed in [2.108], including the second- and third-order correlation effects, the second-order correlation corrections to the Breit interaction, and corrections for reduced mass and mass polarization. The QED contributions were not included. The estimated theoretical uncertainty is less than that of the experimentally determined energies. The QED contributions to the resonance transitions have been calculated in [2.109] using Grant's multi-configuration Dirac-Fock computer package for ions with Z = 24-54. The self-energy contributions is derived from H-like contributions calculated in [2.10]. The resonance-transition wavelengths have been computed in [2.110] for Z = 3-92 using the theoretical calculations of [2.108,111] and the screening parameterization of the H-like Lamb shift.

2 Atomic Structure and Spectra

Figure 2.8 exhibits the result of a semiempirical calculation of the total QED contributions (self-energy and vacuum polarization). As can be seen, the QED contributions (especially for the 1s22s1/2-1s22pl/2 transition) rapidly increase with increasing Z. The uncertainty in the observed wavelengths in the range 26 ~ Z ~ 54 is much smaller than the QED contribution to the wavelengths. Tables 2.35 and 2.36 list theoretical wavelengths for resonance transitions in Li-like ions and the corresponding experimental data. We note that there is a larger deviation between the experiment and theoretical calculations [2.109,110] for results without QED contributions [2.108] in the range Z > 20.

2.3 Binding Energies of the Inner-Shell Electrons In this section, we give a brief description of the results for the atomic innershell energy levels in heavy atoms. Details of the theoretical methods as well as experiments can be found in [2.114-122]. For heavy atoms the main electromagnetic effect in inner-electron binding is the nuclear Coulomb field. The Coulomb binding energies are affected by electrostatic screening. These effects are accurately described by the DiracHartree-Fock (DHF) method. The self-energy shift can be expressed as [2.118] ESE

where n is the principal quantum number, Z the nuclear charge and Z* the effective nuclear charge, defined by Z*

= (r)H/(r)OHF.

Here (r)H is the expectation value of the radius of the inner-shell orbital in the H-like ion with a nuclear charge Z, (r)OHF is the radius of this orbital in the DHF approximation, the function F(aZ) was defined in Sect. 2.2.2. The screening and nuclear finite-size effects (in the form of the Fermi model for

the nuclear-charge distribution) in ab initio methods are included in the se1fenergy calculation by replacing the Coulomb wave functions and potentials by numerically determined DHF wave functions and potentials [2.114,119]. As mentioned in [2.114], the effects of screening by the nuclear finite-size effect on the electron self-energy can be compensated by reducing the Coulomb-field value by about 2% for K -shell electrons in the range 70 ~ Z ~ 90. Figure 2.9 shows the relative importance of the frequency-dependent Breit interaction for K -shell electrons in heavy atoms, compared with QED corrections (self-energy and vacuum polarization in the screening approximation) and with the total binding energy. The binding energies for K, L, and M shells in neutral and ionized atoms are given in Tables 2.37 -42. The self-energy corrections in a screened Coulomb field as a function of the nuclear charge Z are given in Table 2.43. The theoretical and experimental data for atoms with Z ~ 70 are presented in [2.115, 120-122].

2.4 Multicharged Ions in Stationary External Fields The study of the interaction of ions with external fields gives rise to two big problems: the influence of external fields (mainly stationary fields) on spectra and radiative transition probabilities, and the electrodynamic effects of the interaction with variable (monochromatic) fields, followed by multiphoton absorption and photon radiation. In this sections we restrict ourselves to the consideration of the behavior of the H- and He-like ions in external stationary fields, with a brief listing of the main results for the few-electron ions. These results are also important for the case of monochromatic external fields, as sufficiently intensive radiation sources (lasers) are available only in the optical and near ultraviolet range of frequencies, which are small as compared to the spectral line frequencies of ions with large Z. Under these conditions the influence of a laser field (with neglect of multiphoton ionization) is equivalent to that of stationary fields.

2.4.1 Stark Effect. The Ground State a) H-Uke Ions An electric dipole moment d induced in a H-like ion by a uniform electric field F can be expressed by d = fJF

+ sF 3 /6 + ... ,

where fJ is the electric dipole polarizability, s is the hyperpolarizability. The polarizability fJ describes a linear polarization law for small field strengths F, while the hyperpolarizability s corresponds to deviations from this law for large F. The standard treatment of the Stark effect by perturbation theory leads to an expression for the Stark shift as a power series of the field strength in the

E = Eo - f3F2/2! - BF4/4! - ... ,

(2.4.1)

where Eo is the field-free energy of the H-like ion. For the ground states only the coefficients of even powers in F are non-vanishing. The non-relativistic expansion coefficients for the ground state of the hydrogen atom are given up to the lO-th order in [2.123] Eis

9F 2/4 - 3555F4/64 - 4908F 6 -794237F 8 (2.4.2)

Besides a purely theoretical interest the relativistic generalization of this results can be applied in practice, e.g. for the determination of the Stark shift of X-ray lines in the inner-shells of heavy atoms. The leading relativistic correction ()( (aZ)2 to f3 has the fonn [2.124] (2.4.3) where f3nr is the well-known non-relativistic result

f3nr = 9aJ/2Z 4

The relativistic values for f3 are given in Table 2.44. Using Eq. (2.4.5), the leading relativistic corrections to (2.4.4) can be expressed by [2.125]: f3 =

f3nr

[1 - 28(aZ)2/27 + (2f2

+ 31)(aZ)4/432]

.

(2.4.6)

The relativistic contribution to ;the ratio f3 / f3nr as function of nuclear charge Z is shown in Fig. 2.10. At small Z the relativistic corrections to f3nr are not significant, but with increasing Z their contribution becomes quite important and reaches about 50% at Z = 100. b) He-like Ions

The Stark effect for the ground state of He-like ions is similar to that in H-like ions because the ground state is non-degenerate in the zero order perturbation theory. Taking into account the interelectronic interaction according to perturbation theory, the polarizability of the He-like ion can be presented as

f3He = f3ji>1o

+alZ-1 +a2Z-2 +a3 Z - 3 + ...)

= f3ji>1 (1

+ ~ an/Zn)

,

(2.4.7)

where f3ji>1 is the polarizability in H-like approximation, i.e. f3ji>1 = 2f3H.

(2.4.8)

The exact non-relativistic value of the coefficient al has been obtained in [2.126]: al = 207/144.

For small Z the interelectronic corrections to p~i are significant (60% at Z = 2 for PUe), but these corrections decrease with increasing Z (2% for Z = 10). On the contrary, the relativistic effects rapidly increase with increasing Z (90% for Z = 1(0).

c) He-like Ions In the weak-field case, where the field splitting is smaller than the level intervals between the states with opposite parity, the quadratic Stark effect takes place, because the interelectronic interaction removes the degeneration on the orbital momenta. With increasing F, the importance of the splitting effect for sublevels with opposite parity increases due to the linear Stark effect [2.6]. This phenomenon was studied in detail in [2.134] for Is2s and Is2p configurations in He-like ions. The corresponding results are given in Fig. 2.11a (for F = 0) and in Fig. 2.11b (for F = 5.15 X 106 V/cm) in notations of LS-coupling. A comparison of Figs. 2.11a and 2.11b shows that in the strong field for Z ~ 15 one has 11 sublevels instead of six for F = O.

2.4.3 Stark Effect. Hyperfine Structure The Stark effect for the hyperfine structure leads to a shift of sublevels with different momenta f = 1 ± J (I is the nuclear spin, J is the total electron momentum), and to a splitting !:l.Efm along the projection m of the moment f in the direction of the field F. Due to the smallness of hyperfine interaction, the value of !:l.Efm is several orders of magnitude smaller than !:l.En (2.4.17); !:l.Efm was measured with high accuracy by radio spectroscopic methods [2.135]. Taking into account the hyperfine interaction of the electron and the nucleus to the first order, and the interaction with the electric field F to the second order of perturbation theory, one has !:l.Efm = -f3fmF2/2.

(2.4.23)

The general expressions for the polarizability f3fm have different representations for f = 1 ± 1/2 and can be written in a form similar to the non-relativistic case [2.136]: 2 me

With increasing H, the importance of the second-order terms in F, leading to a splitting of sublevels m = ±1/2, increases as well due to the quadratic Zeeman effect. The corresponding non-relativistic level shift is [2.6] Il.E(2) = -

The relativistic numerical results for XIs in terms of the function XIs / xf: are presented in Table 2.48. For the excited states of H-like ions the situation is, in many respects, analogous to the Stark effect. In the case of the Zeeman effect where the energy shift in the magnetic field is weak as compared to the splitting of neighboring fine-structure levels (but larger than the hyperfine splitting), the unperturbed states can be obtained from the exact solution of the Dirac-Coulomb equation. The magnetic field can be considered as a first-order perturbation. This case has been considered in detail in [2.142]. The expression for the level shift t::.En was considered by the formula for the anomalous Zeeman effect with the relativistic corrections to the Lande factor [2.142]: t::.En =

NmHa [2N(n r + AN) - (-1) N-I] 4N2 - 1 No

(2.4.34)

(notations were given in Sect. 2.42). In the intermediate range (where the energy shift in the magnetic field approximately corresponds to the fine-structure splitting) the Paschen-Back effect is observed [2.6]. In strong fields both the linear and quadratic effects are observed, which can be described only on the basis of numerical methods [2.140]. The states with j = n - 1/2 and Iml = j are an exception and the corresponding level shift is given by [2.140]: X: ( (5n + 3)(aZ)2 ) t::.En,lml=j = --2- 1 - -n-'-(n-+-l-)(-'-2-n-+-'-I-) ,

For n = 1, (2.4.35) coincides with the first two expansion terms in (2.4.33)

(2.4.40)

The tabulated values of XHe obtained in the relativistic random-phase approximation are in good agreement with calculated data [2.143], but the divergence up to 10% for Z = 2 is due to the failure of the perturbation theory in form of (2.4.40) in the low-Z range.

2.4.5 Multipole Electromagnetic Susceptibilities and Shielding Factors for Multicharged Ions In this section basic information on the multipole susceptibilities and shielding factors for closed shells of multicharged ions are given required for the study of the influence of non-uniform fields on the ionic spectral characteristics.

b) Few-Electron Ions A critical review and tabulation of experimental Stark widths and shift data for spectral lines of non-hydrogenic positive ions were carried out in [2.145]. Theoretical values of the electric and magnetic susceptibilities (fh, fh and Xl) and the shielding factors (aI, a2 and bI> calculated in the relativistic randomphase approximation are presented in [2.129] for the closed shell of He, Ne, Ar, Ni(Cu+), Kr, Pb and Xe isoelectronic sequences. Precise Hartree-Fock calculations of f3t have been performed for several isoelectronic sequences [2.146, 147]. The exchange and quantum corrections in the Thomas-Fermi calculation of diamagnetic and electric susceptibilities for multicharged ions are studied in [2.148-150]. Variational calculations for the static polarizabilities of atoms and ions are presented in [2.151]. The calculations of the Sternheimer shielding factors are reported in [2.152] for He, Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe isoelectronic sequences. The reliable semiempirical estimates of the static multipole polarizabilities 13K (quadrupole 132, octupole 133 and hexadecapole 134) are considered in [2.153]. These estimates are based on the recommended values of 131 given in [2.146]. The general correlations among the successive polarizabilities according to the relationship log f3K+1 = A log 13K

are obtained. The fitting parameters are listed in Table 2.52 for He, Ne, Be, Mg, Zn, Cu+ and Ag+ isoelectronic sequences. The estimates of the dipole polarizability 131 for multicharged ions can be represented by the simple semiempirical formula [2.149, 154]

3 Transition Probabilities

The accurate values of the transition probabilities and lifetimes for highly ionized atoms are required for many applications: the interpretation of astrophysical spectra and atomic-collision studies, the development of X-ray lasers, the diagnostics of fusion plasmas, etc. In this chapter mainly the transition probabilities in H- and He-like ions are considered. The theoretical and experimental data for other sequences have been the subject of several reviews (see [3.1-3] and references therein).

3.1 Selection Rules Selection rules characterize the change of the quantum numbers of an atom or ion, making a transition under the interaction with electro-magnetic radiation. Electric (E) and magnetic (M) 2K-pole transitions are denoted as EK and MK, respectively: El = electric dipole, E2 = electric quadrupole, Ml = magnetic dipole, etc. (see also Sect. 2.1). "Exact" and "approximate" selection rules are distinguished. The exact ones follow from the conservation laws and the properties of the angular parts of the operators for electric and magnetic transitions [3.4,5]. The exact sele<;tion rules are independent of the coupling scheme of the system and formulated for "exact" quantum numbers - parity, the total momentum J and its projection M: I:l.J=O,±l, ... ,±K, I:l.M

(3.1.1) (3.1.2)

and the change of parity I:l.P

for EK transitions, for MK transitions.

(3.1.3)

The selection rules for M components (3.1.2) are important for the determination of line polarization (Sect. 4.4). The approximate selection rules are formulated for the quantum numbers of the transition described by a certain coupling scheme. In the LS-coupling scheme one has for electric EK transitions: I:l.L=O,

and S - S transitions are ruled out. For E2 transitions: !1L=0,±I,±2,

L+L'~2,

(3.1.7)

i.e. transitions between S terms (L = L' = 0) and between S and P terms (L = 0, L' = I) are ruled out. The selection rule for spins Sand S' is the same for all EK transitions; it allows transitions between terms with equal multiplicity. A transition is called forbidden if one of the selection rules mentioned above is violated. A violation of the selection rules is connected with magnetic interactions, mostly spin-orbital ones [3.6]. The probabilities of forbidden transitions in multicharged ions rapidly increase with increasing Z. Forbidden lines can arise from any of the higher multi poles or by a multiphoton mode. Selection rules also exist for transitions between states described by other types of coupling schemes (LK, jK, jj coupling and others [3.5]). For EK and MK transitions with !1n #- 0, the order of magnitude for the transition probabilities is given by [3.6]: A(EK) ~ a(aZ)2K+2(mc2In),

(3.1.8)

A(MK) ~ (aZ)2d4(mc 2In),

(3.1.9)

i.e. the probability of an EK transition is (aZ)2 times higher than that of a MK transition. Selection rules for autoionization transitions are given in Table 3.1.

3.2.2 Radiative Decays of the n = 2 States in He-like Ions Radiative transitions from n = 2 levels have been intensively studied both experimentally and theoretically. In recent years, precision measurements of forbidden lifetimes in He-like ions have been extended to higher Z = 92 [3.10]. Except for the 2 I PI state, transitions from the levels n = 2 to the ground state are very retarded because of angular momentum and parity restrictions. However, transitions between levels with n = 2 are often allowed. In this section we examine the main results for allowed and intercombination transitions between different n = 2 levels in the He-like isoelectronic sequence. The theoretical and experimental results for the 21 So-II So transition are presented in Sect. 3.2.3. The 2 3 SI state in He-like ions is expected to decay to the II So ground state via a relativistically induced magnetic-dipole Ml transition. The 2 3 SI state can also decay by two-photon emission. The transition probability for this process has been studied in [3.11] and is expected to be three to four orders of magnitude less than the magnetic-dipole transition. The first measurement of the decay of the 2 3 SI state was performed for He-like argon in [3.12] using beam-foil spectroscopy. The experimental data for the 2 3 SI-ll So interval in lJ9O+ are given in [3.10]. The experimental lifetimes have been obtained over a range extending from Z = 2 - 36 [3.13]. These values are presented in Table 3.3 together with accurate results of theoretical calculations. All three 3 PO,I,2 levels decay to the 2 3 SI state by allowed (electric-dipole) El transitions. This is the dominant decay mode for low ionization stages. Accurate calculations of this probability have been performed in [3.14]. The 2 3 P2 level also decays by magnetic-quadrupole M2 transition to the ground state. Theoretical analysis [3.14] shows that the transition probability is small for low Z systems, but, since it scales as Z8, it becomes the dominat'lBb1e 3.3.

ing depopulation mode of the 3 P2 level for Z ~ 20. This was demonstrated experimentally in [3.15]. The magnetic-quadrupole M2 transition 2 3 P2 - 2 I So is also possible but its probability remains low for all Z [3.14]. In He-like ions the 2 3 PI state is mixed with the 2 I PI and other I PI states by fine-structure interaction. The mixing is very small in helium but increases rapidly with nuclear charge. Z. The allowed decay mode for the 2 3 PI states is electric-dipole El to the 2 3 81 state. The 2 I PI level, however, can decay directly to the ground state by electric-dipole El radiation and has a very short lifetime. Finally, due to singlet-triplet mixing, the 3 PI state can also decay directly to the ground state, the decay probabilities scaling approximately as ZIO. The 3 P2,O levels do not mix with the singlet system and have lifetimes 103 times higher as compared to the 3 PI level [3.16]. The 2 3 Po level can decay to the ground level 1 I So only by two- or three-photon transitions. The calculated and measured values for transition probabilities between the states with n = 2 are presented in Tables 3.3-10 and in Figs. 3.1, 2. 1BbIe 3A.

3.3 Two-Photon Transitions A two-photon process in an ion is a transition from an initial state with energy E 1 to a final state with energy Eo, followed by the radiation of two photons. This transition is described by: initial state +n photons -+ final state +n' photons, with n +n' = 2. If n = 2 and n' = 0, the process is a two-photon absorption. It requires the energy conservation

11£01 +1iW2 = Eo - El, where 1iwl and 1iW2 are the energies of the two simultaneously absorbed photons. If n = 0 and n' = 2, the process is a two-photon emission. If n = 1 and n' = 1 the process is the scattering of radiation. In this case, the energy conservation law gives

1iwl

+ El =

1iW2 + Eo.

If the atomic state is unchanged, then WI = W2, the scattering is elastic (Rayleigh scattering). If Eo is a bound state with Eo < El the inelastic scattering (WI #= W2) is the Raman scattering (the scattering leads to the excitation), while for El > Eo the process is the anti-Stokes Raman scattering (de-excitation). If Eo is a state in the continuum, the process is called Compton scattering. In the following, we consider in detail only the emission of two photons in H- and He-like multicharged ions. 3.3.1 Two-Photon Decay of the lsl/2 State in H-Uke Ions The 2s1/2 state in H-like ions is metastable because angular-momentum and parity selection rules prevent the usual electric-dipole transitions to the ground

3 Transition Probabilities

The possibility of this process, which takes place via intennediate states, was first pointed out in [3.20]. The first measurement of the lifetime of the 2s1/2 state in H-like ions was performed using the fast Arl7+ beam from a heavy-ion accelerator [3.12]. The lifetimes have now been measured in several H-like ions: He+ [3.21-23], 07+ [3.24], p8+ [3.24], SI5+ [3.15], Arl7+ [3.15] and Ni27+ [3.9]. The development of the beam-foil technique used to measure the metastable lifetimes made it possible to compare the calculated and measured transition probabilities. The non-relativistic numerical results of the two-photon decay probability of the 2SI/2 state obtained in [3.25], A2EI = (8.2283 ± 0.0001)Z6s-l,

(3.3.3)

is believed to be the most accurate one [3.26]. Accurate calculations including all relativistic and retardation effects and combinations of photon multipoles (2El, EI-M2, 2Ml, 2E2, 2M2 and E2-Ml-types) are presented in [3.27-29]. Both contributions of high multipoles and relativistic corrections are small in the case of low-Z ions, while they rapidly increase with increasing nuclear charge Z. The calculated probabilities are given in Table 3.11. Figure 3.3 shows the contribution from different relativistic effects [3.29]. Relativistic corrections make the curve deviate from unity at high Z. The transition probability for the 2SI/2-lsl/2 decay can be expressed by a simple formula [3.27] A(2s

Note that all theoretical values are based on relativistic calculations. 3.3.2 Two-Photon Decay of the 21S8 State of He-like Ions All single-photon transitions from the 21 So- state are strictly forbidden in the absence of nuclear spin, leaving two-photon emission as the dominant decay mode. Even if the nucleus has a spin, two-photon emission remains dominant up to very large values of Z. The two-photon emission in He-like ions has been observed in laboratory sources: He [3.30], Li+ [3.31], Ar16+ [3.21] and Kf34+ [3.33]. The calculation of two-photon process

Is2s I So -+ Is2 I So + hWI

(3.3.5)

in He-like ions is much more complicated because of the two-electron nature of the problem. The first reliable estimations for helium by explicitly summing over the discrete and continuous oscillator-strength distributions was obtained in [3.34]. Two-photon decay probabilities have been calculated by the variational method from He to Ne8+ [3.11] . .Detailed calculations of relativistic corrections to two-photon decay probabilities have been performed in [3.35,36]. Good results are given by the fit [3.35]. A(2 1SO-IISO) = A (0) (2 1 So-I ISO) (Z ; P

For other transitions the radial integrals have the form Rn1-n'I' = R~-n'l,/(n' - n)1.3Zx,

n, n' ~ 3,

(3.4.10)

where R~-n'l' are the H-like values [3.4]. Oscillator strengths calculated for high Z are given in Table 3.15, which' shows that the semiempirical formula (3.4.3) gives quite accurate results.

3.4.2 He-like Ions The accurate calculations of the oscillator strengths in H-like ions have been performed in [3.41,42]. An alternative approximate approach has been applied using an effective charge of electrons in the initial and final states. Such a treatment, based on the assumption of single-electron H-like wave functions, has been reasonably successful in the calculations of the oscillator strengths and transition probabilities in He-like ions. For Is2 1 S -lsnp I P transitions, the square of the radial integral R was calculated in the form [3.43]: R2(ls 21 S-1snp 1 P) = 28n\n 2 - l)Z?Zi(2Zj - Zf)2<1>(Zj, Zf), (3.4.11) where (Zj, Zr) = (nZj - Zr)2n-6/(nZj

+ Zf)2n+6.

(3.4.12)

Here, Zj and Zf are the effective charge parameters (in the H-like approximation) for the initial and final states of the optical electron. In this method, the corresponding expression for the oscillator strengths f is given by [3.44]: f(1s

The quantities Zj, ZI' a, b and c for the He-like ions up to Z = 30 are given in Table 3.16. On the basis of sophisticated relativistic calculations of the transition probabilities A for He-like ions, the approximation for A was obtained in the form [3.45]: (3.4.17) where z is the spectroscopic symbol of an ion, a and b are the fitting parameters; the parameter y accounts for the dependence of A on z.

3.5 Autoionization Probabilities The autoionization probabilities are used for many applications [3.46-55] mainly as a diagnostic tool to measure plasma parameters [3.54] and for astrophysical investigations [3.55]. The autoionization probabilities can be calculated in the following form:

The wave is usually normalized to the Dirac-delta function. function To construct the N-electron system wave functions, the Z-expansion (MZ) method is often used with hydrogenic wave functions [3.46,48,49].

3 Transition Probabilities

(3.5.3) Here A(a, ao) is the decay amplitude for the states a, ao and C J (aLS, alLIS.) are eigenvectors obtained by diagonalization of the energy matrix. In the particular case of two- and three-electron states (21'31" and Is21'31") only one, the final state, is possible and therefore 10 = L. The amplitudes ALS(a, ao) are then given by A LS (nllln212) = N

(II0

L) 0

[Rll (11 12)

+ (-1) s R12(1211)],

(3.5.4)

where N = (1 + ~nllln212)-1/2. The radial integrals Rx(1112) were calculated in the Coulomb approximation [2.48,49]. In the Multi-Configuration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) method [3.56], the continuum states are obtained by distorted-wave Dirac calculations. In the first step, a set of single-configuration Dirac orbitals are obtained in an averaged-configuration Hartree-Fock approximation. Using these orthonormal one-electron orbitals to construct the single-configuration wave functions, the Hamiltonian matrix is calculated including the Breit corrections to the Coulomb interactions between electrons. The AUTOLSJ method [3.53] determines a set of non-relativistic wave functions by diagonalization of the Hamiltonian using orbitals calculated in the scaled Thomas-Fermi-Dirac potential. As the second step, the method diagonalizes the Hamiltonian in the Breit-Pauli approximation. Tables 3.18-20 present autonization probabilities for two- and threeelectron systems. The Z-dependence of the quantities are shown (Table 3.19) for each calculational method (MZ, MCDF and AUTOLSJ).

3.6 Branching Ratios of Inner-Shell Vacancies Ionization of the k-th inner-shell electron of an ion Xz leads to creation of an ion Xz+I in the autoionizing state, which can decay by emission of an electron (autoionization decay) with the probability Bk(Z -+ Z

+ 2) = r /(r + A).

3.6 Branching Ratios of Inner-Shell Vacancies

123

Here 1 and A are the total probabilities of autoionization and radiative decay, respectively. The coefficients Bk are termed the branching-ratio coefficients. They are defined in a similar way for the emission of more than one electron: Bk(Z --+ Z + k), k > 2. If an ion with a vacancy ("hole") makes a transition to the stable state by emission of a photon, i.e., without changing its charge, the branching ratio is Bk(Z --+ Z + 1)

=

A/(1

+ A).

(3.6.2)

The values of the branching-ratio coefficients (3.6.1,2), calculated in the LS-coupling scheme for oxygen and iron ions, are given in Tables 3.21, 22. A vacancy in the inner shell of an ion can also be created by direct innershell excitation by electron impact. In this case the more appropriate quantities are the dielectronic satellite factor Qd and the statistically weighted linefluorescence yield Y: Qd Y

= goA(O --+

1)1/(1 + A),

= gW = goA(O --+

1)/(1 + A),

(3.6.3)

where go is the statistical weight of the excited state, A(O --+ 1) is the radiative transition probability from the excited state to a lower one. In Table 3.23 we present A, Qd and gW for doubly excited Is2/2/ 1 states of three-electron systems for 10 ~ Z ~ 54. The branching ratios and autoionization probabilities for the states of the excited electron configurations, ls2snl and Is2pnl, of Li-like argon are presented in Table 3.24. The n-values change in the range from n = 2 to n = 4 with all allowed values of I: 1 = 0 to I=n-l.

4 Radiative Characteristics

In this chapter the radiative processes, involving free electrons in the initial or final state, are considered (photoionization, dielectronic recombination, bremsstrahlung), as well as the polarization of X-ray radiation of highly charged ions, induced by electron impact.

4.1 Radiative Recombination Radiative Recombination (RR) (or photorecombination) Xz+1 (al)

+ e ~ Xz(ao} + nw

(4.1.1)

consists in electron capture and radiation of a photon; here ao and al denote sets of the quantum numbers. Together with other recombination reactions of free electrons with ions (dielectronic recombination, three-body recombination), the RR processes influence the ionization balance of high-temperature plasmas, contribute significantly to the energy loss of the plasma and are a very important cooling mechanism in electron-ion interaction. RR is the primary recombination process in very low-temperature and low-density plasmas. At high electron temperatures its importance rapidly decreases. The RR cross sections and rates are investigated mostly theoretically [4.1-7], because these values are difficult to measure directly due to their smallness. So there are only a few cases that have been studied experimentally for photorecombination [4.8-12] and photoic;mization [4.13-15].

4.1.1 General Properties. Photoionization The inverse process to RR is photoionization Xz(ao}

+ nw ~

Xz+1 (al)

+ e(e, A},

(4.1.2)

which consists in photon absorption and ejection of a bound electron into the continuum. Here e and A are the energy and orbital momentum of the photoelectron, respectively. The cross sections of photoionization (Tv and RR process (Tr are related by the detailed-balance principle (the Miln formula):

4.1.3 Theory and Experiment Photoionization and photorecombination cross sections are required for many applications, i.e., for the Opacity Project [4.22,23] - an international collaboration program, the aim of which is to determine the stellar envelope opacities with high precision. The number of experimental cross sections for multicharged ions are quite limited [4.13-15], because the measurement of corresponding cross sections is a very complicated problem. Therefore, one has to rely upon sophisticated computer calculations and recommended data [4.24-28]. Calculations of a v of complex ions [4.29-31] showed the significant importance of Photo-Excitation of the Core electrons (PEC). PEC processes lead to the appearance of large resonances followed by autoionization, and can strongly modify the photoionization cross section over a wide range of frequencies (Fig. 4.2). PEC resonances are especially important for photoionization from excited states of ions with not very high ion charge [4.29,32]. log a 1mb)

The first measurements of RR rates for multicharged ions were performed in [4.8-12] using a merged-beam technique. The typical behavior of the RR rate is shown in Fig. 4.3 for recombination of H-like ions. For bare and H-like ions experimental data are well described by the Kramers hydrogenic formulas with the Stobbe correction [4.2]. For complex ions the evidence of significant incomplete screening in RR for Si6+ ions was shown [4.12]. Calculated RR rates for multicharged ions can also be found in [4.21,33,34].

4.2 Dielectronic Recombination Dielectric Recombination (DR) is the dominant electron-ion recombination process in high-temperature plasmas and, therefore, is very important in determining the ionization balance. Another very important role of DR is connected with the presence of so-called satellite lines (Sect. 2.1), arisen due to the radiative decay of autoionizing states of an ion I . Such lines contain quantitative information not only about ion structure, but also about plasma macroparameters (electron density, temperature etc.) and, therefore, play an essential role in X-ray spectroscopy and plasma diagnostics. DR is a resonant, two-step process

X;:.

(4.2.1) in which a multicharged ion captures a free electron with simultaneous excitation of the target electron and creates a doubly excited ion, which then decays by a radiative channel. Another competitive channel for the decay of an ion X;:'J is the autoionization process (Sect. 3.8).

4.2 Dielectronic Recombination

The capture of an electron in (4.2.1) is resonant in nature, i.e. it is possible only within a narrow interval of the free-electron energy E around the value

(4.2.2)

where Eaao is the excitation energy of the ion Xz and n is the principal quantum number of the captured electron. The width of the energy interval (4.2.2) is equal to the level width ~~, which is defined by the total decay probability ~~

+ r(~)], + r(~)],

~dRy] = 4.83 x 1O-17[A(~)

(4.2.3)

where A and r (in S-I) are the radiative and autoionization decay probabilities of the state ~, respectively. Two main cases are distinguished in DR: a) inter-shell excitation transitions with ll.nc = 0, b) intra-shell excitation transitions with ll.nc # 0, where nc is the principal quantum number of the target electron. Depending on whether it is case a) or b), the free electron tends to be captured to low or high n-states.

4.2.1 DR Cross Sections and Rates The theory of DR was developed in [4.5,35-38]. In the isolated resonance approximation the DR cross section for a transition via the intermediate state ~ to all final states ~I of an ion Xz-I can be written in the form [4.16,4.34]: 21l' Ry2

Precise high-resolution measurements of DR cross sections were performed in [4.8,10,43] using a merged-beam technique [4.44]. Usually, the rate coefficients (va) are measured, averaged over a certain electron velocity distribution. For the cooled-ion beams a two-temperature Maxwelliandistribution function is used [4.45] with a longitudinal (111) and transverse (T..L) temperature of the electron beam. Fig. 4.5 shows a resonance structure of the averaged DR cross section for Li-like Cu26+ ions as a function of the centerof-mass energy. Calculations of the DR cross sections for multicharged ions can be found in [4.39,43,46-49]. DR satellite spectra were considered in Sect. 2.1.

The DR rates were mainly measured in Tokamak: [4.15,52-54] and laser [4.55] plasmas from DR satellite-line-intensity measurements. Table 4.4 shows the available data of the total DR rates for metallic ions, which are of primary interest in fusion problems. A typical behavior of the DR rate as a function of electron temperature is shown in Fig. 4.6. A comparison of Kd and RR rate at low electron temperatures is given in Fig. 4.7. Calculations of DR rates for multicharged ions can be found in [4.34,50-58].

4.2.2 Electric-Field (EF) and Electron-Density (ED) Effects The majority of calculations were made for DR cross sections and rates in the field-free zero-density limit. However, the strong influence of these effects are now generally accepted. A comparison of experiment and theory is complicated because of the presence of EF in the experiments, which produce large effects on the measured cross sections for transitions with !l.nc = O. This results both from the Stark mixing of levels with different angular quantum number I, and from the ionization of recombined ion states with large n. The EF and ED effects are strongly interrelated and accurate calculations for specific plasma conditions are extremely complicated.

For I::!.n #- 0 transitions the effects are predicted to be small since the cross sections for these transitions falloff rapidly with n [4.34]. The exception, of course, will be for H- and He-like ions where I::!.n = 0 transitions are the only ones possible. For I::!.n = 0 transitions the DR rates are dominated by the contribution from the Rydberg states [4.34,43]. External EF strongly influence the DR process. Such fields can ionize electrons in high Rydberg states and thereby decrease the DR rate. Ions are rapidly ionized for all n > n max , where n max is given by the semiempirical formula [4.59] n max = (6.2 x 108z3/ F)1/4.

4 Radiative Characteristics

The field enhancement of DR by EF has been verified by direct experimental measurements [4.40,60,61]. Figure 4.8 shows a comparison of experimental DR rates for t::..n = transitions in C IV ions with theoretical values calculated for different electric fields E. ED effects can also be quite significant. Like EF, collisional redistribution of states and collisional ionization can affect the DR rate. According to the equilibration model [4.63], the electrons in the Rydberg states with quantum numbers n larger than a certain quantity nt return to the plasma continuum and so do not contribute to DR. The quantity nt is called the "thermal limit" and is defined by n = 165z12/17TI/17 N- 2/ 17 (4.2.10)

where Te is in Rydberg and Ne in cm- 3 . Estimates for the ED effects on DR rates are given in [4.21,48-50,64-68]. The fitting parameters for DR rates of iron ions, calculated with account for ED effects, are given in Table 4.5 (cf. Table 4.1). In general, the DR rates can be severely affected by the presence of plasma microfields. EF and ED effects can change DR rates, obtained in the zerodensity and zero-field limits, by as much as a factor of 10 (see Table 4.5). These effects are serious and require further detailed investigations, especially for high Rydberg states which are particularly sensitive to external perturbations.

where k is the momentum of the radiated photon. BS is closely related to elastic electron scattering, radiative recombination (Sect. 4.1) and pair production. BS is also a fundamental process for a variety of applications in astrophysics, biology, fusion-plasma problems, transport and energy loss in charged particle beams, etc. In general, BS is a quite complicated theoretical problem because it requires the bound conditions and the use of the continuum Coulomb wave functions. The problem is solved only in the non-relativistic limit and for some special cases where numerical calculations have been performed. Experiments are also limited in number, especially for positive ions. The general theory

of BS was considered in [4.69-77]. The BS spectra for electron energies E = 100 eV -10 MeV are tabulated in [4.78] and the angular distributions in [4.79].

which gives both limiting cases (the Born approximation and the classical limit). For 71o/V » 1, (4.3.13) becomes (4.3.8). For the limiting case w -+ O(v « 1) and arbitrary 710 one has from (4.1.13) g = (J3/1r) In[2/v(y

(4.3.14),

which gives the classical limit (4.3.9). In the Born approximation and for w -+ 0, one can obtain from (4.3.12) or (4.3.14) g = (J3/1r) In(2710/v),

711 ~ 710.

(4.3.15)

In general, the semiclassical result (4.3.13) is a good approximation to the Sommerfeld formula (4.3.6) for all parameters, except the so-called shortwavelength limit

v -+ 0,

710 -+ 0,

V/710 -+ 1.

This case corresponds to large electron velocities for which the Sommerfeld formula (4.3.6) is not valid, and one must take into account the relativistic and retardation effects. The relativistic theory of BS is considered in [4.70,80]. The formulas for the total intensity of BS, integrated over the whole radiation spectrum, are given in [4.7]. 4.3.2 Screening Effects The Sommerfeld formula and its modifications, considered in Sect. 4.3.1, were obtained for BS on bare nuclei. These results can be used for multicharged ions with Z » 1, if the initial electron energy is

mv5l2 < h,

(4.3.16)

4.3 Bremsstrahlung

where h is the first ionization potential of the ion. Corrections due to screening effects at higher energies are discussed in [4.3,72,74,80]. The general expression for BS cross sections in the one-electron approximation are given in [4.7]. The inclusion of screening effects leads to a reduction in cross section, corresponding to a reduction of the effective charge seen by the free electron [4.80]. The reduction is large near the long-wavelength region and is least in the short-wavelength region. In the Born approximation, screening leads to the change of Z2 in (4.3.4) to IZ - F(q)1 2, where F(q) is the atomic form factor: F(q) =

Here, q is the momentum transfer to the ion with a nuclear charge Z and a total number of electrons N; p(r) is the charge electron density. For large q (small distances), F ::::::: 0 and there is no screening, while for small q (large distances), F ::::::: N and shielding is complete. A comparison of the calculated BS energy spectra for neutral Mo and its ions at different kinetic energies of the incident electron is given in Fig. 4.9. The Gaunt factors for BS in the field of light positive ions were calculated in [4.81] using the scaled Thomas-Fermi approximation.

4 Radiative Characteristics

4.4 Polarization of X-Ray Lines X-ray emission of multicharged ions is an important source of information about processes taking place in hot plasmas. The polarization of X-ray lines and bremsstrahlung is quite sensitive to the presence of electron beams in plasmas, or more generally, to the deviation of the electron-velocity distribution function from a Maxwellian one [4.82-85]. Electron beams, in turn, strongly influence the heat conductivity, oscillations and radiation from plasmas. The measurements of the polarization of X-ray lines in multicharged ions were performed in the laboratory [4.86-88] and the Solar [4.89,90] spectra. The most important process, leading to line polarization, is the excitation of ions by anisotropic electrons. This process takes place in crossed-beam experiments [4.87,88], RF current-driven Tokamak plasmas [4.91], and in the Solar plasma [4.92-94]. The theory of the polarization of emission lines, first developed for neutral atoms [4.95-97], is extended to multicharged ions [4.82-85]. The theoretical description of the subject is based on the photon polarization density matrix [4.98]: PU' = -I ( 1+'Y/2. 2 -'Y/3 -l'Y/l

-'Y/3 +i'Y/1) 1- 'Y/2 '

(4.4.1)

where I, 'Y/\. 'Y/2 and 'Y/3 are the four Stokes parameters [4.99]: I being the total photon intensity, 'Y/1 and 'Y/3 the two linear polarizations and 'Y/2 the circular polarization. The polarization degree of the radiation is P

=

('Y/T + 17~ + 17~)1/2.

(4.4.2)

For the interesting cases of X-ray lines in multicharged ions, the polarization degrees 'Y/1 = 'Y/2 = 0 [4.83,84], 'Y/3 remains and is defined by III-h 'Y/3 = III + h'

(4.4.3)

where III (h) is the intensity of the emitted photons, polarized with a polarization vector parallel (perpendicular) to the meridian plane, i.e., the plane formed by the crossing directions of the incident electron beam ke and of the detection of the radiation k. The general quantum-mechanical expression for the linear polarization of photons in the transition (1010-(11 h is given by [4.83]: 'Y/3(k) =

The plus sign corresponds to the electric (EK) transitions and the minus sign to the magnetic (MK) ones. From the general properties of (4.4.4), it follows that YJ3 is maximal when the final state has zero angular momentum (JI = 0). Therefore, the line corresponding to the transition 3P2 _I SO in He-like ions is expected to be more polarized than that for the 3P2-3S1 transition. Equation (4.4.4) is too complicated for general use. However, usually, the basic mechanism of level population is electron impact. In this case, the population of sublevels N (M) is expressed in terms of excitation-rate coefficients (vaex ) which are calculated in the Coulomb-Born approximation with exchange. Calculations of the polarization degree of X-ray lines (including dielectronic satellites) in H-, He- and Li-like ions were performed in [4.82-85]. In the case of He-like ions, the polarization of the following lines was investigated in detail [4.82-85]: j -I

The dependence of the polarization for x, y and w lines for Fe24+, Ca 18+ and Mg lO+ He-like ions on the energy of the monoenergetic electron beam is shown in Figs. 4.10-12. These results were obtained in [4.85] under the assumption that the population of magnetic sublevels is proportional to the corresponding excitation cross sections. The forbidden line z in this assumption is unpolarized. The polarization of x, y and w lines as a function of energy (in threshold units) has a weak dependence on nuclear charge, while the polarization of the y line reveals a strong dependence on nuclear charge. (The relativistic coupling between 2 I PI and 2 3 PI levels which rapidly falls off with decreasing nuclear charge, strongly influences the excitation cross sections of the 2 3 PI level). The polarization of dielectronic satellites Is2nl' -ls2pnl' of He-like ions is given in Table 4.6. The emission from the level with J = 1/2 is unpolarized. Here, J and J' are the total momenta of the upper and lower states of the resulting ion. For He-like Fe24+ ions the q- and u-satellite lines, corresponding to transitions Is 22s 2 SI/2 -ls2p(I P)2s 2 P3/2 and Is 22s 2 SI/2 -ls2s2p 4 P3/2, respectively, are produced almost entirely by inner-shell excitation of Li-like ions in the ground state [4.83]. The degree of linear polarization is shown in Fig. 4.13. The polarization of w and x lines for Fe24+ ions were calculated in the model in which both thermal and non-thermal (anisotropic) electrons were taken

Photon polarization from Radiative Recombination (RR) is very important in experiments using crystal spectrometers to perform high-resolution spectroscopy. Besides, the measurement of photon polarization can be used as a diagnostic method for an electron beam in the cooler of a storage ring. The asymptotic behavior of photorecombination a r (and photoionization) cross sections at 8 » Enl (8 and Enl being the energies of the optical electron in the continuum and in the bound state nl, respectively) is considered in [4.16]. In the opposite case of the low-energy limit 8

4.5 Photon Polarization in Radiative Recombination

the expressions for a r and corresponding rates can be obtained in a closed analytical form, valid for nl states with n ~ Z [4.100]. Numerical calculations of the angular distributions and polarization of photons were performed in [4.100-102]. The differential RR cross section is written in the form [4.6]:

where e and up are the unit vectors along the photon electric vector and electron momentum p, respectively; f3nl(e) is an anisotropy parameter describing the angular distribution of photoelectrons. In the low-energy limit (4.5.2), the parameter f3nl is energy dependent and expressed by the reduced dipole-matrix elements [4.100]. The polarization degree of radiation from recombination into nl states is written in the form [4.102]: III ((n

The dependence of Pnl(e) on e and quantum numbers nl is given in Fig. 4.14. We note, that for ns states f3ns = 2 and the photon radiation is completely linearly polarized with an electric vector in the (p,k)-plane. The polarization degree has its maximum at e = 90°: (4.5.5) In Fig. 4.15 the I-dependence of pn,?ax is shown for n = 30.

can be also obtained in a closed analytical form [4.102], where 111 and T.L are the effective longitudinal and transverse electron-beam temperatures, respectively [4.45]. For a symmetrical distribution 111 = T.L, the polarization rate is averaged out (i.e., is equal to zero), while, for a flattened distribution 111 < T.L, which is typical for electron coolers, the strongest polarization is expected at () = 90° (in the moving frame). In the laboratory system the highest degree of polarization moves towards forward angles with increasing ion velocity. A compilation of atomic processes, responsible for polarization of radiation in plasmas is given in [4.103].

5.1.1 Excitation of Outer-Shell Electrons Because of the long-range attractive Coulomb force the excitation cross sections for processes (i) and (ii) are finite at threshold and, as a rule, have their maximum there. For dipole (optically allowed) transitions (tl.l = ±1, tl.S = 0) the excitation cross section at threshold can be estimated from the Van Regemorter formula d·

u ex {E-~ for transitions with I~ll =F 1, ~S = 0, (5.1.7) E- for intercombination transitions, ~S = 1. At present, absolute experimental excitation cross sections u are known only for a few ions with charges larger h'tan one: AI2+, C3+, N4+, Hg2+ [5.1] and Si3+ [5.2]. These data were obtained using the crossed-beam technique and fluorescence detection. Because of the low detection efficiencies (~ 10-4 ), these measurements become much more difficult as the ion charge increases. The invention of the Electron-Beam Ion Source (EBIS) [5.3] and the ElectronBeam Ion Trap (EBIT) [5.4] made it possible to obtain relative excitation cross sections for highly charged He-like argon and Ne-like barium and gold ions [5.5,6]. Much of the theoretical data on u can be obtained by using simple twostate theories such as Distorted-Wave (DWE) [5.7] or Coulomb-Born (CBE) [5.8] approximations with Exchange. The typical behavior of the electron-ion excitation cross section is shown in Fig. 5.1 (curve 1). In some cases the shape of the cross section can be distorted by electron exchange effects (Fig. 5.1, curve 2). A comparison of experimental excitation cross sections with theoretical calculations for C IV and Si IV ions is given in Figs. 5.2 and 5.3. The basic methods have to include close-coupling, relativistic [5.13] and even QED effects [5.14] for ions X z with z ~ 50. QED effects lead to an enormous increase of the excitation cross sections from threshold up to the high-energy region due to electromagnetic and retardation interactions in highly charged ions (Fig. 5.4). A new crossed-beam apparatus has been developed for measuring differential cross sections d u / d Q for excitation of multicharged ions by electron

A review on experimental (va) values obtained from the time-dependent plasma method [5.26] is given in [5.27]. The typical dependence of excitation rates on electron temperature is shown in Fig. 5.6. In Table 5.2 the fitting parameters for transitions nolo-nlll' nl ~ 4 in Hlike ions are given. The parameters were determined from a least-squares fit of CBE cross sections and rates in the non-relativistic approximation [5.28]; the accuracy of the fit is also given.

Such an additional excitation channel with respect to the usual ones, (5.1.1) or (5.1.2), is termed resonant inelastic excitation. If ~I = ~o the process is called resonant elastic scattering. The

Experimental data on RE cross sections are rather scarce. Therefore, most of the results are obtained by theoretical calculations. There are three main theoretical methods which lead to equivalent results: the R-matrix method [5.29], the generalized quantum-defect method [5.30] and the asymptotic-expansion method [5.31].

RE leads to the appearance of resonance structures on top of the "usual" potential cross sections, as shown in Fig. 5.8. The resonances are rather small for optically allowed transitions (e.g., I 2S-2 2 P in H-like or II S _21 P in Helike ions) and other strong transitions such as monopole p - p or d -d transitions and transitions between excited states. The resonances can be very important for weak transitions (e.g., intercombination transitions with l1S = 0, especially at low temperatures (see below). The contribution of RE for the transition ~o - ~I in plasmas with a Maxwellian velocity distribution is given by (va

where T is the plasma temperature and g is the statistical weight; A and r are radiative and autoionization probabilities (see Chap. 3). The typical behavior of the rates for strong and weak transitions and resonant transitions is shown in Fig. 5.6. At low temperatures the contribution from RE is quite substantial. The resonant excitation rate is fit by (5.1.23) where A and X are fitting parameters. For He-like ions, parameters A and X are given in Table 5.3. Numerical calculations of RE (Resonant Excitation) cross sections and rates for multicharged ions are given in [5.24,32-36].

5.2 Ionization In the ionization process of ions by electron impact:

X z + e -+ X z+ 1 + 2e, three main processes are distinguished: (i) Direct Ionization (DI), (ii) Excitation-Autoionization (EA), (iii) resonant processes (REDA, READI).

where u = E I I - 1 is the scaled incident electron energy, I is the binding energy of the outer or inner shell of the target nl q ; and q is the number of equivalent electrons. Ionization cross sections a and corresponding rates (va) for DI are usually estimated by the semiempirical Lotz fonnulas [5.37]:

1n(u+l) 2 [:rrao], u = Ell-I, u+l (va) = 6qV'fi(RYII)3/2e- fJ f(fJ) x 10-8 cm3 s-I, fJ = liT, a

(S.2.3) (5.2.4)

f(fJ) = efJIEi(-fJ)I,

where T is the electron temperature, Ei(x) is the integral exponent. The function f(x) is fit within 3% by [S.9]: f(x)

= eXIEi(-x)1 ~ In ( 1 + 0.S62 + 1.4X) , x(1

+ l.4x)

x> O.

(S.2.S)

The Lotz fonnulas (S.2.3,4) were obtained on the basis of numerical calculations of ionization cross sections for H-like ions in the CBE and, therefore, produce errors for multielectron systems. However, the fonnulas are convenient and useful for estimating a and (va) with an accuracy of about a factor of 2. Classical and quantum theories give the following scaling laws for a and (va) F(u)

= 12 a,

u = EII- 1,

cf)(fJ) = /3/2 efJ (va)lq,

fJ = liT.

(5.2.6) (S.2.7)

The functions F(u) and cf)(fJ) have to be universal for a fixed initial state in ions along a given isoelectronic sequence (Figs. S.9,1O). Recent measurements [5.42] and calculations [S.43] of a for multicharged ions showed that the function F(u) in (S.2.6) is not universal for ions with z > SO and it is necessary to take into account relativistic effects both for bound and incident electrons. A similar situation occurs for the ionization of inner-shell electrons in neutral atoms. For heavy atoms with nuclear charge Zn > 30 relativistic effects are very important [S.44]. For the estimation of a values at relativistic electron energies one can use the Gryzinski fonnula [S.4S] or its modification [S.46].

5.2.2 Excitation-Autoionization For a target ion having more than one electron shell, the total cross section can contain a structure on top of the DI cross section which is due to indirect (multistep) ionization mechanisms.

(5.2.12) where Bj is the branching-ratio coefficient of the autoionizing j state of the target, A and r are the radiative and autoionization probabilities (Chap. 3), respectively, aE is the excitation cross section of inner-shell electrons. Equation (5.2.11) is valid if DI and EA processes are treated as independent; the interference of these processes is also possible [5.49]. The autoionization probability r ~ 1013 _10 14 S-1 and weakly depends on z. The probability A r « A a for ions with z :( 10 and, therefore, for such ions B ~ 1. In the case of multicharged ions the quantities r and A differ significantly for different states and it is necessary to use the general formula (5.2.U) that strongly complicates the calculations [5.50]. EA cross sections and rates can be estimated by semiempirical formulas [5.51] or using fitting approximations [5.52,53].

5.2.3 Resonant Ionization Besides DI and EA there are other important indirect processes leading to ionization but showing resonant characteristics, i.e., they occur only at a definite (resonance) energy of the incident electron (5.1.2). Such resonant processes are also multistep processes and lead to the appearance of narrow resonances in the total ionization cross section. The first step in resonant ionization (RI) is the capture of a free electron by the target ion, i.e., the same step as in the DR process (Sect. 4.2), and the creation of an ion in the doubly (triply etc.) excited (autoionizing) state. Dielectronic capture usually involves the excitation of an inner-shell electron. An ion in an autoionizing state can decay by sequential or simultaneous emission of two electrons; the net result is a single ionization of the target ion. Thus, for

Obviously, the excitation of the Is-electron into· other excited states can occur. The process (5.2.l3) is termed resonant-excitation-auto-doubleionization (READI); the process (5.2.14) is termed resonant-excitation-doubleautoionization (REDA). The contribution of REDA to the ionization of N V ions is shown in Fig. 5.12. The RI processes were predicted theoretically [5.55,56] and confirmed experimentally [5.57]. To perform the experimental measurements was possible only by using advanced crossed-beam techniques [5.58], which, in particular, permit to study narrow features like resonances and excitation thresholds

5 Electron-Ion Collisions

with extremely high precision to obtain spectroscopic information on multiply excited states [5.59]. The contribution of RI depends on ion charge and electronic configuration of the target ion. The largest contribution from REDA was obtained for ionization of Fe XVI ions (Fig. 5.13), where REDA contributes up to 30% to the total ionization cross section.

is investigated mostly experimentally using the crossed-beam technique [5.61-69]. The same processes as for single ionization (Sect. 5.2) are distinguished in MI processes: direct ionization of outer- and inner-shell electrons, indirect processes, including excitation of inner shells with subsequent autoionization, and resonant processes (RETA, REQA), where T and Q stand for triple and quadruple, respectively. At present M I cross sections O"z,z+k are measured for ions X z with z < 10 for processes with k ~ 4. The O"z,z+k values are extremely large and, therefore, M I processes should be taken into account along with the single ionization processes in the investigation of the charge-state balance in hot plasmas and calibration of ion-beam probes used for plasma diagnostics in thermonuclear research reactors [5.70], etc. The measured thresholds for k-electron ionization cross sections correspond to the minimum ionization energy z+k-l Iz,z+k =

The data on O"z,z+k provide also detailed information about the relative strengths of multiple- to single-electron interactions

The sum Et=2 R~z) for Xe z+ as a function of z is shown in Fig. 5.16; a contribution of MI to single ionization is maximum for Xe2+ ions (80%) and is larger than for neutral Xe atoms. The comparatively high O"z,z+k cross sections can be attributed to the contribution of indirect processes, such as inner-shell excitation autoionization; the

relative probabilities of these processes increase with increasing z and with increasing number of electrons k, removed in a single electron impact [5.65]. There are virtually no theoretical quantum calculations of MI cross sections with the exception of ionization of neutral He [5.71,72]. It was shown [5.72] that the direct ionization cross section a;~+k falls off more rapidly than the single ionization cross section in the Born region: (d) )2k, k > I, v» 1 , (5.3.4) az,z+k ex (zp/ v where zp is the charge of the incident particle and v is the relative velocity. The a;~1+2 values for double ionization cross sections are usually estimated by the binary-encounter approximation of Gryzinski [5.45]: (6.56 x 10- 14 eV2 cm2)2 q5/3(q - 1) z,z+2 Ii4rr g

The Gryzinski formula (5.3.5) may reproduce the shape of a direct double-ionization cross section reasonably well, but can greatly overestimate the size of z+2 (see [5.65,67]). The resonant contributions to double and triple ionization of heavy-metal ions were observed using a fast energy-scanning technique [5.69]. The resonances arise due to multi-step processes

Emission of one electron (k = 0) corresponds to resonant electron scattering, two-electron emission

resonant-excitation-triple/quadruple-autoionization (RETAlREQA [5.69]). The contribution of RETA or REQA processes may be also very high and exceed the total measured multiple ionization cross section by up to 30% (Fig. 5.17). In general, the MI processes of highly charged ions are much richer and of greater variety than single-electron ionization, while the inner-shell electrons play a dominant role and, in fact, determine the magnitude of effective cross sections. These processes must be taken into account in calculating the kinetics of a high-temperature plasma and its ionization stages. An adequate theory is required for such applications.

6 Ion-Atom Collisions

Collisions of multicharged ions with neutral species are currently a subject of fundamental interest processes since such as ionization, electron capture and excitation occur in many areas, e.g., confined plasma research, accelerator design and beam transport, fusion and the production of slow highly charged recoil ions for subsequent collision studies.

(6.1.1)

are required in many fields of thermonuclear fusion research. The subject of charge exchange in ion-atom collisions has been reviewed in [6.1-3] from the experimental point of view and in theoretical works [6.4-7]. Experimental data on EC cross sections U c for collisions of protons with neutral targets are given in [6.8,9]. Numerical calculations of differential cross sections due/dO are presented in [6.10,11] and references on EC cross sections can be found in [6.12]. Reaction (6.1.1) is a rearrangement process with different particles before and after collision, so the study of such reactions is a more complicated problem as compared to electron-ion collisions. The value f:l.E = Eo - El is termed the energy defect, where Eo and El (Eo, El > 0) are the binding energies of the electron being captured in the target atom A and the resulting ion X(z-l)+, respectively. For f:l.E < 0 one has an endothermal reaction, f:l.E > 0 corresponds to an exothermal reaction; the cases with f:l.E = 0 and f:l.E ~ 0 are termed resonance and quasiresonance EC, respectively. The behavior of the electron-capture cross sections U c are usually described in two energy regions: adiabatic (v ~ ve ) and diabatic (v ~ ve ), where v is the relative velocity, Ve is the bound-electron velocity. In the first region, the bound target electrons adjust to the changing field of the projectile, and quasi-molecular or close-coupling approaches can be used. In the diabatic (fast collision) region, perturbation theory and its modifications are usually used. V. G. Pal'chikov et al., Reference Data on Multicharged Ions © Spring-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1995

6.1 Electron Capture

167

Some general features of U c for reaction (6.1.1) are outlined in [6.13]. For a given target atom in the low-velocity region (v ~ ve): 1) for multicharged, partially stripped ions the uc-values are large and nearly independent of v, and U c ex z. U c is constant at low energies because a lot of excited states of the resulting ion are involved. U c may have a maximum for particular states (partial cross section), but the total cross section is a sum over the partial cross sections with maxima at different ion velocities and hence, the total cross section is nearly constant; 2) for almost fully stripped ions and ions in low charge states, the capture is highly selective, uc-values do not scale with z and are dependent on v; 3) the capture into particular n-state of the X(z-l)+ ions with n ~ Z3/4 has the largest probability. In the high energy region (v ~ ve): 1) U c decreases rapidly with v increasing for one-shell targets (H or He), and decreases much slower for multielectron targets because of the contribution from the capture of inner-shell target electrons; 2) the total U c values can contain the characteristic "breaks" in the velocity dependence uc(v), where the capture of electrons from neighbor shells gives a nearly equal contribution (Fig. 6.1), 3) for partially stripped ions U c depends only on z and v, and is almost independent on ion species; 4) U c values have a scaling law U c ex za(v), where 1 ~ a(v) ~ 5 (see Fig. 6.2), 5) the distribution over n of the resulting ion X(z-l)+ becomes broader with increasing v, and its maximum moves towards low-n states.

In general, the distribution over nl-states of the ion X(z-l)+, given by theoretical models and confirmed by experiments with bare and closed-shell ions, is as follows [6.13]: 1) the principal quantum number of the dominantly populated ionic state is n = nm ~ z3/4; 2) in the very-low-velocity limit (v « ve ) and for ions with z » 1 the most populated sub-state for a given n is the p state if the initial electron state

of H or He is nos. This results from the weak mixing of the sublevels in this velocity limit; 3) with increasing v up to Vo = 1, the most populated level 1m increases and tends to the maximum value 1m = n - 1. Because of the strong mixing of states in this collision regime, the relative distribution tends to its statistical limit undun :::::: (21 + 1)/n 2 ; 4) in the intermediate energy region E = 10-200 keVlu one has: 1m :::::: n-l for n ~ nm and 1m ex nm for n > n m; 5) with further increase of E, the maximum 1m - value decreases rapidly and tends to the s state, i.e., 1m = O. The behavior of SSEC cross sections is shown in Fig. 6.6 in the case of Fe8+ + H collisions. The total electron-removal cross section U e (electron capture plus ionization) is scaled by [6.29,30]: G(u) = ue(E)/z,

inner-shell target electrons by incident ion is the most striking property of EC reactions at large relative velocities of colliding particles. The low energy region corresponds to the projectile velocity, which is much less than the orbital velocity of the electron being captured (usually from the outer shell of the target). In this velocity region, the main features of the total a c for collisions between multicharged ions and many-electron atoms are [6.32]: 1) a c values for capture of one or several electrons are almost independent of the impact energy E; 2) a c decreases with the number of electrons transferred in a single ion-atom collision; 3) a c increases with projectile charge Z; 4) a c decreases with increasing target ionization potential I A • In the case of k-electron capture (k = 1,2,3,4) the large amount of experimental data [6.24,33,34] for collisions XZ+ + A(X = Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Z :0:::; 8, A = He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, H2, N2, 02, C~, C02) allowed to obtain the scaling law for az,z-k- values at velocities v < 1 a.u.: (6.1.9) where IA is the first ionization potential of the target. The fitting parameters A, b and i are listed in Table 6.2. Cross sections for the capture of k electrons in collisions X e Z+ + K r are given in Fig. 6.8.

Equation (6.2.2) does not take into account the contribution of excitationautoionization processes which involve inner-shell electrons (see Sect. 7.2). The typical behavior of the ionization cross section, as compared to electron capture (EC), is shown in Fig. 6.11. One can see that at low energies EC dominates as mechanism of electron loss from H atoms. The importance of EC extends to higher collisions energies as the charge of projectile increases. At still higher energies ionization dominates the electron loss. The total removal cross section O"e (ionization plus electron capture) in collisions with excited H atoms,

A general scaling law for cross section of electron removal from a neutral target is given by theoretical predictions (Sect. 6.1.1) [6.29,30]: G(u) = uj(E)/z, u = E/z[keV/u]. (6.2.4) Multiple Ionization (MI) in collisions with neutrals is caused by the high charge of the projectile when many electrons of the target are removed simultaneously at large collision distances. Theoretical approaches, used for describing MI, are based on the Independent Particle Model (IPM), where the target electrons are treated independently from each other, shell structure effects are neglected and the average binding energies for each shell are used. MI cross sections were measured in [6.47 - 52] for collisions of multicharged ions with rare-gas targets. Usually, the cross sections Uj for producing a recoil ion in charge state j are obtained by normalizing measured charge-state fractions to measured net-ionization cross section U+: U+

CTMC calculations have shown [6.46] that the calculated U+ values for a given rare-gas target scale as G(u) = u+/z, u = E/z[keV /u] , (6.2.6) where z is the charge of the incident ion (Fig. 6.12).

There are several theoretical approaches beyond the first Born approximation used for calculations of 0": the Dipole-Close-Coupling (DACC Approximation [6.60]), the Classical-Trajectory Monte-Carlo approximation (CTMC [6.62]), the Atomic-Orbital approach (AO) [6.63], the Unitarized Distorted-Wave-Approximation (UDWA [6.64)] and the close-coupling method (CC) [6.65]. In general, different approaches give quite different results (Fig. 6.13). In order to test theory, more experimental data on excitation cross sections are required. Experimental data of 0" values for transitions in He targets are given in Figs. 6.14-16.

7 Ion-Ion Collisions

Theoretical and experimental data on ion-ion collisions are quite limited because this problem is a relatively young field of physics stimulated by recent research on thermonuclear fusion with inertial and magnetic confinement. Only since 1977, the experimental data on charge-exchange and ionization, involving singly or doubly charged ions, obtained by the intersecting-beam technique, have become available. Such data for collisions between two multicharged ions A ZI + and B Z2+ with ZI, Z2 > 2 are not available. The problems arising in the investigation of ion-ion collisions are described in reviews and monographs [7.1-4], the general features of the intersecting - beam techniques in [7.5]. A theoretical description of ionization, electron capture, excitation and other processes in heavy-ion collisions at relativistic velocities is given in [7.6]. Usually, the effective cross sections in ion-ion collisions are given as a function of the relative ion velocity or the center-of-mass energy Ecm: Ecm:::;

Among different theoretical calculations of BC (7.1.2), the best description of O'c is given by the coupled-state approach [7.7]. V. G.

where v is the relative velocity of colliding particles. Experimental data on H-like ions with z > 2 are not available. Measured capture cross sections in collisions of protons with ions of the group-IIIB elements Al+, Ga+, In+ and Tl+ [7.9-11] are shown to be in poor agreement with available theoretical predictions. In the case of the simplest system of homonuclear ions, (7.1.4) the measured U c values are also in good agreement with sophisticated calculations (Fig. 7.2).

u(X2+) values were measured [7.4].

For heavy-ion-fusion applications it is necessary to know U c and Uj separately for obtaining the total beam-loss cross section UL, which, for identical ion pairs, is equal to UL

= 2(2uc + Uj) = 2[uc + u(X 2+)].

(7.1.6)

In (7.1.6) the factor 2 appears because two particles are lost per interaction in the electron-capture reaction and both ions simultaneously act as projectile and target particles.

First separate measurements of CTi and CTC for systems Xe+ + Xe+ and Bi+ + Bi+ have been described in [7.14]. Theoretical calculations for collisions of heavy systems are not available. Up to now, the only experimental data for ion-ion collisions involving multicharged ions exist for electron-loss cross sections CTL = CTc + CTi. These data have been obtained in [7.15] using a folded-beam ion-ion collider for pairs Af3+ + Af3+ and 1(r3+ + 1(r3+ at a fixed energy Ecrn = 60 keV:

A bibliography on electron-transfer processes in ion-ion collisions can be found in [7.17].

7.2 Ionization The ionization processes in ion-ion collisions are mainly investigated for collisions between singly charged ions. Experimentally the one-electron ionization cross section O"i is usually obtained from the difference (7.2.1) where O"e is the capture cross section, 0"(X2+) is the total cross section for production of doubly-ionized atom in the final channel. For simple colliding partners H+ + He+ and He+ + He+ the measured O"i values obtained from (7.2.1) are shown in Figs. 7.4,5. Even for these one- and two-electron systems there is no agreement between experimental results and theoretical calculations [7.4]. In general, ionization of these systems is much less understood as compared to electron capture (Sect. 7.1). Ionization in collisions between protons and H-like ions with z = 3,4,5,6 was studied in [7.8] using a coupled-Sturmian-pseudostate approach and a scaling law was obtained, (see (7.1.3), G(u)

where Ij is the binding energy of j-th target shell with qj equivalent electrons; z, E and M are the projectile charge, energy and mass, expressed in units of the electron mass, and 10 is the ionization potential of the target. As can be seen from Fig. 7.6, the accuracy of the scaling formula (7.2.3) is a factor of 2 even at high energies, because it does not take into account the contribution from excitation-autoionization processes, that was clearly indicated in [7.10].

In the Born approximation, the excitation cross section of an ion by a charged structureless particle can be written in a closed analytical form, if the model potential for 2K-pole transitions is used [7.28]: .

o The use of (7.3.12) or (7.3.13) leads, as a rule, to identical results with an accuracy of 20-30%. Cross sections of excitation of multicharged ions by proton impact, calculated by close-coupling methods and using (7.3.4) and (7.3.12) are shown in Figs. 7.8-10. It is seen that calculations with the model potential give a quite good description of the excitation cross sections, except for the cases where the close-coupling effects are very important (Figs. 7.lOb,c). Recommended cross sections and rate coefficients for the excitation of transitions in H-like ions, calculated with the close-coupling method [7.35], are given in Tables 7.1,2.

7.4 Collisions Involving H- Ions The growth of interest to the physics of collisions of H- ions with positive and negative ions is stimulated by both fundamental and practical importance of H- ions, especially with respect to conversion efficiencies of H- to neutral If> ion-plasma neutralizers proposed for efficient neutral-beam heating of future fusion devices [7.36]. A review on experimental and theoretical data of singleand multiple-electron detachment ion collisions of negative ions with neutrals is given in [7.37]. In recent years, the use of advanced crossed-beam or mergedbeam techniques made it possible to obtain, for the first time, results covering collisions of H- ions with protons, multicharged ions and H- ions.

7.4.1 H+ + H- Collisions Three fundamental reactions in H+ + H- collisions were investigated (i) Transfer Ionization (TI): H+ + H- -+ H + H+ + e, (7.4.1) (ii) Electron detachment (ED): (7.4.2) H+ + H- -+ H+ + H + e (iii) Mutual Neutralization (MN): (7.4.3) H+ + H- -+ H + H. TI is a two-electron process in which one of the target electrons is captured by the projectile and the other one is ejected. The cross section UTI, measured with the use of merged-beam [7.38] techniques is given in Fig. 7.11. Theoretical treatment of TI is quite complicated because the strong coupling of many discrete states and a whole continuum has to be taken into account. The low-energy behavior of UTI (Fig. 7.11, dashed curve) is well described by the approach given in [7.39], when IT is considered as mutual neutralization (7.4.3) followed by autoionization.

The ED processes were investigated in [7.40-44]. The MN process was investigated extensively in experiments [7.40,4S-49] and theoretically [7.44,SO-S2]. First measurements of MN cross sections are presented in Fig. 7.12 together with theoretical calculations. It has been pointed out that for energies Eern < 2 keY the contribution of H*(n = 2,3) + H(1s) channels to the MN process is very important and for energies Eern < S keV the capture of the active Is' electron in H- plays the main role and gives the largest contribution (80%) to the total cross section. The puzzling structures of O"MN observed in (7.44] still remain unclear.

The measured double a(2) and triple a(3) ionization cross sections are presented in Fig. 7.13. The results are compared with calculations based on the three-body Classical-Trajectory Monte-Carlo method (CTMC) [7.54] and the independent particle model [7.55]. Three forms of model potentials were used to describe the interaction between the outer Is' electron and the If core (i.e., nucleus and inner Is electron):

The use of potentials VI and V3 gives the best results (Fig. 7.13). The discrepancy between theory and experiment is explained by the fact that the CTMC method does not describe accurately the interchange of target and projectile electrons, which becomes increasingly important for decreasing impact energies.

removal in collisions of H- with multicharged ions of inert gases XZ+, X = Ne, Ar, Xe, Z < 10. Experimental single- and double-electron removal cross sections «1(1) and (1(2») for H- -AfZ+ (z :::;; 8) collisions at Ecm = 50 keY are given in Fig. 7.14 together with theoretical calculations. In the case of singleelectron removal the best prediction is given by the Keldysh approximation [7.63]. The ratio of measured cross sections for Ar ions is (1(2) /(1(1) = (4.7 ± 1.2)%. Each of the (1(1) and (1(2) cross sections consists of two components: ionization and transfer ionization. For high energies both single- and doubleelectron removal is due to impact ionization rather than electron capture [7.60]. The Z2/ v 2 dependence for (1(1) and Z4/ v 4 for (1(2) (v is the relative velocity), predicted by the Born approximation, are invalid especially for high z. The measured (1(1) values are scaled by a z1.3 dependence. However, theory [7.63]

predicts another scaling law: G(u) =

u(v)/z,

u =

v2 /z.

(7.4.11)

The calculated cross sections u(l) for Nez+, M+ and Xe z+ ions (Table 7.3) follow the dependence (7.4.11). Both measurements and calculations show that the efficiency of H- neutralization mainly depends on the ion charge z, but not on the structure of the incident ion.
