Atomic data for the electron impact ionization of ions in the iron isonuclear sequence are reviewed. The best available data are identified. Comments are made on current research activities leading to future data for iron ions.
A review and evaluation is given of the experimental data which are available for charge exchange processes involving iron ions and neutral H, H2 and He. Appropriate scaling laws are presented, and their accuracy estimated for these systems. A bibliography is given of available data sources, as well as of useful data compilations and review articles. A procedure is recommended for providing single approximate formulae to the fusion community to describe total cross sections for electron capture by partially-stripped Fe < l + ions in collisions with H, H2 and He, based on the scaling relationships suggested by Janev and Hvelplund.
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.
