Title: Single photoionization of the ZnII ion in the photon energy range 17.5-90.0 eV: experiment and theory

Abstract

© 2017 The Authors. Measurements of the single-photoionization cross-section of Cu-like Zn+ ions are reported in the energy (wavelength) range 17.5 eV (708 Å) to 90 eV (138 Å). The measurements on this trans-Fe element were performed at the Advanced Light Source synchrotron radiation facility in Berkeley, California at a photon energy resolution of 17 meV using the photon-ion merged-beams end-station. Below 30 eV, the spectrum is dominated by excitation autoionizing resonance states. The experimental results are compared with large-scale photoionization cross-section calculations performed using a Dirac Coulomb R-matrix approximation. Comparisons are made with previous experimental studies, resonance states are identified and contributions from metastable states of Zn+ are determined.

Figure 1 Figure 1: Single-PI cross-section of Zn+: ALS experimental data (open circles) and the 355-level Dirac $R$-matrix theoretical results. The ALS spectrum consists of Zn2+ ion yield spectra normalized to the absolute cross-section measurements (magenta open circles). The thresholds for Zn2+(3$d$10 1S0) at 17.964 eV and Zn2+(3$d$94$s$ 1D2) at 28.317 eV,more » respectively, are indicated by vertical lines. The correction factor $f$$c$ has not been applied to the ALS data illustrated in the figures.
