Dielectronic recombination of the 4p and 4d open sub-shell tungsten ions

摘要

Dielectronic recombination rate coefficients are given theoretically for several highly charged tungsten ions. As 4p open sub-shell ions, Ga-, Ge-, As-, Br-, Kr-like ions are considered. Rb-like ion is further considered as a 4d open sub-shell ion. Theoretical calculations are carried out using a relativistic atomic code FAC. The effect of configuration interaction is taking into account. Inner-shell electron excitations play a significant role for the dielectronic recombination process. Simple analytical formulae are given for the total rate coefficients by fitting to the presently obtained numerical results.
