Within the Debye-Huckel model, and within the first Born approximation, we consider non-spherical screening of the electron-ion interaction and screened bound-electron wavefunctions to obtain collision strengths for the inelastic scattering of electrons by one-electron ions in dense plasmas. It is found that whether or not we use unscreened bound-electron wavefunctions is less influential than the fact of having spherical screening or not, with the non-sphericity leading to an important increase of the collision strengths with respect to earlier calculations which considered spherical screening.
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.
