ABSTRACT:We present the uniform energy approach, formally based on the quantum electrodynamics, using the gauge invariant scheme of generation of the optimal one-electron representation, for the calculation of electron-collision strengths and cross sections. The aim is to study, in a uniform manner, elementary processes responsible for emission-line formation in plasmas. The electron-collision excitation cross sections and strengths for some Ne-like ions (Fe, Ba) are calculated. To test the results of calculations, we compare them with the calculations of other investigators and with the available experimental data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
