We investigated the electron excitation of the fine-structure levels of the 3P ground state and the first excited 1D state of the first four elements of Group IV: carbon, silicon, germanium, and tin. These calculations were carried out in the j–j coupling scheme using the relativistic distorted-wave method. Results are presented for the differential cross sections and spin-polarization parameters for incident electron energies of 25 and 40 eV. PACS Nos.: 34.80Dp, 34.80Nz

Cross-sections for excitation of the 2 3 P state of helium from the ground state have been calculated by the distorted-wave method. The polarization of radiation emitted as a result of the excitation is also calculated. Comparison is made with the corresponding results given by the Born—Oppenheimer approximation. Although there are considerable differences at electron energies below 100 eV these are much less marked than for the excitation of the 2 3 S state. The distorted wave method gives cross-sections in closer agreement with observation but substantial discrepancies still remain. It is difficult, however, to estimate their magnitude with any certainty because there are inconsistencies in the observed data.

The K-shell photoionization cross section of Be-like nitrogen (N IV) from the ground state is studied with the R-matrix and distorted-wave method for photon energies from 5.7 to 41.2 Ry. The close-coupling expansion includes 34 target states of N V with the 13 configurations in the LS-coupling scheme. The resonance energies, quantum defect and widths of 18 series of autoionization are determined from QB method and agree with these by cross sections. Our theoretical resonance energies and widths are compared with the existing experiments on the Auger spectra and other theoretical results. The results show that the calculated resonance energies are in rather good agreement with the experiment on the Auger spectra. For the autoionization width of some resonance states, good agreement is also found with recent theoretical results wherever available obtained using a saddle-point complex-rotation method.

We describe a package of programs for the implementation of the collisional-radiative model to complex configurations. The number of levels taken into account may be several hundreds. The heart of the package is a very efficient program for excitation cross sections in the Distorted Wave framework, using the Relativistic Parametric Potential wave functions. The basic jj coupling scheme actually simplified the computations, enabling a useful factorization into radial and angular parts. Intermediate coupling and configuration interactions are accounted for. We computed ratios of intensities of 3d9 − 3d84s (E2) to 3d9 −3d84p (El) transitions as functions of ne and Te in Xe XXVIII and other Co-like spectra. The atomic model involves all the levels of configurations (3p6)3d9; −3d84s, −3d84p, −3d84d, −3d84f, and (3p5) −3d10, −3d94p. (275 levels) and all the transitions between them. Results compare very well with experimental spectra from TFR.

Total cross sections for positronium formation in e+-Li scattering have been studied in the framework of the distorted wave approximation in the energy range 1-50 eV by taking consistent account of the effect of the target distortion. The results are compared with existing theoretical predictions.

The relativistic R-matrix method is used to calculate the total photoionization cross sections from the ground state 1s22s2 1S0 of Al X for photon energies ranges from the first ionization threshold to just above the eighth threshold of the residual ion Al XI. In this work, the relativistic distorted-wave method is employed to calculate the fine-structure energy levels and radial functions. The lowest eight level target states of Al XI are used in the photoionization calculations of Al X and should provide a reasonably complete database for practical application for photoionization cross section for Al X. The resonance energy levels and widths of 18 Rydberg series have been investigated.
