Photoionization study of Ne3+, Ar5+, Ti2+ and Ti3+ ions in the framework of the modified atomic orbital theory
摘要
This work reports photoionization data of Ne3⁺, Ar5+, Ti2+ and Ti3+ ions. Relevant Ne3⁺- 2s22p2 (1D, 1S)nd and 2s2p3 (5So)np (4P), Ar5⁺- 3s3p (3P, 1P)np (2D5/2) and 3s3p (1P)np (2D3/2), Ti2-3s3p63d2 (4F)np, 3s3p63d2 (4P)np and 3s3p63d2 (2D)np, and Ti3⁺-3s3p63d (3D)np and 3s3p63d (1D)np Rydberg series are considered. Calculations are performed in the framework of the Modified atomic orbital theory (MAOT). The present resonance energies agree excellently with available experimental and theoretical literature data with a maximum energy deviation at 0.009 eV up to n = 17. The new tabulated data for highly n = 18–40 excited states of Ne3⁺, Ar5+, Ti2+ and Ti3+ ions may be benchmarked data for modeling astrophysical and laboratory plasmas.
