As a first application of the program, the EIE cross sections of Be-like C^α＋ ions from the metastable 1s^22s2p^3 p to 1s^22p^2 ^3 p excitation and the inner-shell excitations are calculated systematically. Meanwhile, the correlation effects of target states are discussed. It is found that the correlation effects play an important role in the low energy EIE cross sections. An excellent agreement is found when the results are compared with previous calculations and recent measurements.展开更多

By measuring the recoil longitudinal momentum the energy losses of projectile are deduced for capture reaction channels. It is found that in most cases for single- and double-electron capture, the inner electron in the target atom is removed, the recoil ion is in singly or multiply excited states （hollow ion is formed）, which indicates that electron correlation plays an important role in the process. The captured electrons prefer the ground states of the projectile. It is experimentally demonstrated that the average energy losses are directly related to charge transfer and electronic configuration展开更多

The fully relativistic distorted-wave method is used in cross-section calculations. The programme is applied to He- and Li-like ions. The calculated values of line polarization are compared with other theoretical results and experimental values. For He-like U, at lower incident energy, the present polarization agrees with the other theoretical ones within 1%, while at higher energy, the differences increase up to about 10%. For He-like Fe and Ti, the present results of polarization degree for most of the lines agree with the experimental data within the experimental error bars. For the Li-like Ti line q （ls2s2p^2p3/2 to ls^22s）, the present value of the polarization agree excellently with another theoretical one, and both the values are consistent with the measured data within the experimental error bar.展开更多

The cross-section ratios σ^2E/σ^SC, σ^3E/σ^SC, σ^4E/σ^SC and σ^SE/σ^SC are approximately the constants of 0.514-0.05, 0.204-0.03, 0.064-0.03 and 0.024-0.01 in this region. The significance of the multi-electron process in highly charged ions （HCIs） with argon collisions is demonstrated （σ^ME/σ^SC as high as 0.794-0.06）. In multi-electron processes, it is shown that transfer ionization is dominant while pure electron capture is weak and negligible. For all reaction channels, the cross-sections are independent of the incident energy in the present energy region, which is in agreement with the static characteristic of classic models, i.e. the molecular Coulomb over-the-barrier model （MCBM）, the extended classical over-the-barrier model （ECBM） and the semiempirical scaling laws （SL）. The result is compared with these classical models and with our previous work of ^13C^6＋ -Ne collisions [Chin. Phys. Lett. 23 （2006） 95].展开更多
