Adaptive Algorithm for the Generation of Superconfigurations in Hot-Plasma Opacity Calculations [PDF]

open access: yesPlasma, 2022
In hot plasmas, such as the ones encountered in astrophysics or laser-fusion studies, the number of ionic excited states may become huge, and the relevant electron configurations cannot always be handled individually.

Super Transition Arrays: A Tool for Studying Spectral Properties of Hot Plasmas [PDF]

open access: yesPlasma, 2021
For the theoretical study of X and extreme-UV spectra of ions in plasmas, quantum mechanics brings more detailed results than statistical physics. However, it is impossible to handle individually the billions of levels that must be taken into account in ...

Multi-Configuration Calculation of Ionization Potential Depression

open access: yesPlasma, 2022
The modelling of ionization potential depression in warm and hot dense plasmas constitutes a real theoretical challenge due to ionic coupling and electron degeneracy effects.

A comparison of detailed level and superconfiguration models of neon [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer, 2006
The superconfiguration (SC) approach to collisional-radiative modeling can significantly decrease the computational demands of finding non-LTE level populations in complex systems. However, it has not yet been fully determined whether the statistical averaging of SC models leads to a significant loss of accuracy.

Optimized recursion relation for the computation of partition functions in the superconfiguration approach [PDF]

open access: yesHigh Energy Density Physics, 2020
Partition functions of a canonical ensemble of non-interacting bound electrons are a key ingredient of the super-transition-array approach to the computation of radiative opacity. A few years ago, we published a robust and stable recursion relation for the calculation of such partition functions.

An Enhanced Genetic Algorithm to Solve the Static and Multistage Transmission Network Expansion Planning

open access: yesJournal of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
An enhanced genetic algorithm (EGA) is applied to solve the long‐term transmission expansion planning (LTTEP) problem. The following characteristics of the proposed EGA to solve the static and multistage LTTEP problem are presented, (1) generation of an initial population using fast, efficient heuristic algorithms, (2) better implementation of the ...

A superconfiguration approach to multi-electron ionization of Xe under strong x-ray irradiation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, 2013
The production of highly ionized states in xenon under intense x-ray irradiation, is discussed with the help of specific calculations. The approach, which retains only one-photon absorption processes (photoionization and photoexcitation) as well as Auger and radiative relaxations, makes use of properly defined superconfigurations as a global ensemble ...

New approach to dense plasma thermodynamics in the superconfiguration approximation

open access: yesLaser and Particle Beams, 2002
We propose a new approach to the calculation of ion populations in the LTE dense plasmas in the superconfiguration approximation. The screening of plasma ions is obtained using the same free-electron chemical potential for each ion charge. This chemical potential is determined by iteration keeping the total density constant and varying the volume ...

Number of states with fixed parity in atomic superconfigurations and configurations

open access: yesPhysica Scripta
Abstract In this work, we establish closed-form expressions for the total number of atomic states characterized by a prescribed projection of the total angular momentum and a fixed parity. These expressions are written in terms of the Gauss hypergeometric function 2 F
