Dielectronic Spectra for Ne-like Ions from F-like Low-Lying States

Abstract

Energy levels, radiative decay, and Auger rates have been calculated for dielectronic recombination of seven Ne-like ions, ranging from Fe^l7+ to Ag³⁸⁺, from the n = 2 F-like shell into the n = 3 one, by use of the multiconfiguration AUTOLSJ code in intermediate coupling. Rate coefficients have then been computed versus the electronic temperature, the nuclear charge of the involved element, the final Ne-like state, and the population distribution among the initial 3 F-like levels. Dielectronic spectra have also been obtained.
