In this paper, we present an experimental and theoretical study of excitation processes for the heaviest stable helium-like ion, that is, He-like uranium occurring in relativistic collisions with hydrogen and argon targets. In particular, we concentrate on angular distributions of the characteristic Kα radiation following the K → L excitation of He-like uranium. We pay special attention to the magnetic sub-level population of the excited 1s2lj states, which is directly related to the angular distribution of the characteristic Kα radiation. We show that the experimental data can be well described by calculations taking into account the excitation by the target nucleus as well as by the target electrons. Moreover, we demonstrate for the first time an important influence of the electron-impact excitation process on the angular distributions of the Kα radiation produced by excitation of He-like uranium in collisions with different targets.

A theoretical simulation of complex K X-ray spectra including those from dielectronic recombination and excitation processes is presented for trapped highly charged germanium ions ( Geq+, q = 27–30) interacting with a dense electron beam. We carried out numerical calculations of transition rates, level energies, transition wavelengths, resonance and collision strengths, and satellite intensity factors. Analytical results related to cross sections of B- through He-like Ge ions were obtained as well. The simulated spectra, including the contribution from different charge states of Ge27+–Ge30+, show good overall agreement over a wide electron energy range with the available X-ray measurements from the Heidelberg electron beam ion trap (EBIT). We have also predicted the electron impact excitation cross-section ratios for different transitions of Ge29+ and Ge30+ ions. It should be emphasized that the present analysis can also provide new information and clues of possible temperature measurements for EBIT and other plasma diagnostics.PACS No.: 32.30.Rj

The near-infrared (NIR) spectra of low-concentration (5 × 10−3 M) solutions in CCl4 of basic aliphatic alcohols, methanol, ethanol, and 1-propanol were, for the first time, calculated by second-order vibrational perturbation theory computations and were compared with the corresponding experimental data.

AbstractThe effect of a variable magnetic field on Li plasma produced by laser-blow-off technique has been studied experimentally. Enhancement in the intensity of the spectral lines from neutrals was observed, which varied with the magnetic field. The enhancement in emission from Li I was found to differ for the two different transitions viz. 670.8 nm (2s 2S1/2 ← 2p 2P3/2,1/2) and 610.3 nm (2p 2P1/2,3/2 ← 3d 2P3/2,5/2), which is more prominent for 670.8 nm. Conventionally, the enhancement in emission in the presence of the magnetic field has been explained in terms of radiative recombination. However, the atomic analysis by computing photon emissivity coefficients in the present case has revealed for the first time that it is due to electron impact excitation.

The experimental data for the anistropic component of the angular distribution of electron-beam evaporation sources are usually described in terms of thecosnθdependence. In this paper a simple model for calculating angular distributions is presented. The generally used dependence appears as a particular case in the model.
