Journal Article · · Atomic Data and Nuclear Data Tables
The authors have calculated cross sections for excitation of the fine-structure transitions in carbon-like ions by proton, deuteron, triton, and {alpha}-particle impact via a close-coupled impact-parameter method. This technique includes the effects of dipole coupling to the nearby triplet 2s2p{sup 3} configuration by means of a polarization potential. The authors consider the ions N II, O III, Ne V, Mg VII, Si IX, S XI, Ar XIII, Ca XV, Ti XVII, Cr XIX, Fe XXI and Ni XXIII. Excitation rate coefficients have also been calculated for a range of temperatures.
