RELATIVISTIC DISTORTED-WAVE COLLISION STRENGTHS AND OSCILLATOR-STRENGTHS FOR THE 85 LI-LIKE IONS WITH 8-LESS-THAN-OR-EQUAL-TO-Z-LESS-THAN-OR-EQUAL-TO-92

Relativistic distorted wave collision strengths are given for the 3 transitions among the 2s 1 2, 2p 1 2, and 2p 3 2 levels and for the 63 transitions from these levels to the excited levels nlj with n = 3, 4, and 5 in the 85 Li-like ions with nuclear charge number Z in the range 8 <- Z <- 92. The calculations were made for the six final, or scattered, electron energies E′ = 0.008, 0.04, 0.10, 0.21, 0.41, and 0.75, where E′ is in units of Zeff2 rydbergs with Zeff = Z - 1.66. In addition, the transition energies and electric dipole oscillator strengths are given. To our knowledge the present work is the first comprehensive publication of the results of fully relativistic calculations of the collision strengths for excitation of Lilike ions. © 1990.
