Re^(30+)离子双电子复合速率系数的理论研究

Theoretical Studies of Dielectronic Recombination Rate Coefficients for Re^(30+) Ions

复杂结构离子的双电子复合速率系数在极紫外光刻光源、核聚变等应用研究的等离子体光谱模拟和诊断中具有重要的应用价值。利用全相对论组态相互作用方法,详细计算了基组态为4p64d9的Re^(30+)离子经双激发态(4p64d9)-1nln′l′(n=4～6,n′=4～23)的双电子复合(DR)过程。研究分析了激发、辐射通道,组态相互作用,级联退激对DR速率系数的影响。其中内壳层4p电子激发的DR速率系数是总DR速率系数的28.2%～44.9%,所以内壳层4p电子激发的贡献不可以忽略。级联退激对DR速率系数的最大贡献为12.9%,也必须要予以考虑。通过对双电子复合、辐射复合、以及三体复合速率系数的比较,辐射复合速率系数的最大值为DR速率系数的22.6%,三体复合速率系数的最大值仅为DR速率系数的0.3%。因此,DR速率系数远远大于辐射复合和三体复合速率系数。该结果表明DR过程对于等离子体离化态分布、能级布居以及光谱模拟都极为重要。为了方便应用,对基态和第一激发态的总DR速率系数进行了参数拟合。该研究结果将为Re激光等离子体的光谱模拟及复杂结构离子DR过程的进一步研究提供参考。

Dielectronic recombination（DR） rate coefficients of complex ions are very important in some application research, such as extreme ultraviolet lithography and nuclear fusion. Based on the fully relativistic configuration interaction method, theoretical calculations are carried out to research the DR processes, in which Re30＋ions in the ground state 4 p64 d9 to（4 p64 d9）-1 nln′l′（n=4～6, n′=4～23）. Influence of excitation and radiation channels, configuration interaction, the effect of decays to autoionizing levels possibly followed by radiative cascades（DAC） are analyzed. The contributions through 4 p subshell excitations to the total rate coefficient are 28.2%～44.9% in the whole temperature region. Hence the contributions from inner-shell electron excitation are very important. The contributions from the DAC transitions increase smoothly with the increasing temperature and are about 12.9% at 50 000 eV. The contributions of DAC can not be neglected. By means of compared total DR rate coefficients to radiative recombination rate coefficients and three-body recombination rate coefficients, it shows that the maximum value of the radiation recombination rate coefficient is 22.6% of the DR rate coefficient and the maximum value of the three-body recombination rate coefficient is only 0.3% of the DR rate coefficient.The total DR rate coefficient is greater than either the radiative recombination or three-body recombination coefficients in the whole temperature range. The corresponding DR process is very important for plasma ionization distribution, population level and spectrum simulation. In addition to facilitate the application, the total DR rate coefficients for the ground state and the first excited state are fitted to an empirical formula. These results will provide the reference for the further analyses of rhenium laser plasma spectrum simulation and the complex structures ions DR process.
