“…In particular, ABAKO works using a set of analytical potentials developed by us, which can model both isolated ions (Martel et al, 1995) and ions immersed into plasmas (Gil et al, 2002), including plasma effects (such as the continuum lowering of the ionization potential and the shift on the energy levels, total energies and wave functions), and single and core excited configurations . Moreover, in this case, in order to avoid the iterative procedures of the self-consistent models, the atomic magnitudes are evaluated using central analytical potentials, within the framework of the independent particle model, which have demonstrated to be an interesting and useful option to work out accurate ionic populations, and average ionizations in a wide range of densities and temperatures.…”
