Hybrid calculation of hot plasma radiative properties at local thermodynamic equilibrium involving energy levels, configurations and superconfigurations.

open access: yes, 2012
In hot dense plasmas, most energy transfer is due to radiation. Therefore, the effects of opacity on structure and evolution of plasmas are quite important. Normally, detailed line by line calculation of plasma opacities give the most precise results, but sometimes requires such an amount of resources it is not tractable.

A superconfiguration code based on the local density approximation

open access: closedJournal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer, 2000
Abstract The local density approximation (LDA) has been applied in a version of the SCO code based on the superconfiguration method. The self-consistent-field LDA equations for each superconfiguration are obtained by minimization of the free-energy functional with an appropriate number of constraints which guarantee the required populations of ...

On the superconfiguration approach to model NLTE plasma emission

open access: closedJournal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer, 2001
Abstract We discuss some aspects of the superconfiguration approach as applied to NLTE problems. The framework of this study is the AVERROES/TRANSPEC model developed for simulating non-LTE spectra. The model acts as a postprocessor to plasma hydrodynamics simulations.

Superconfiguration widths and their effects on atomic models

open access: closedHigh Energy Density Physics, 2011
Abstract Superconfigurations are an important component of many of the collisional-radiative atomic models that are used to predict the properties of atoms and ions in non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) plasmas. In this paper, we investigate the statistical properties of superconfigurations and derive expressions for their approximate ...

The temperature law for superconfigurations in non-LTE plasmas

open access: closedJournal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer, 2001
Abstract It is shown that, in non-LTE hot plasmas, the atomic processes tend to establish a temperature law, i.e., a decreasing-exponential law vs. energy, for the total atomic populations of the configurations within each superconfiguration (SC). The SCs are defined by the occupancy numbers of atomic shells.

Stable method for the calculation of partition functions in the superconfiguration approach

open access: closedPhysical Review E, 2004
A general method for the calculation of the partition function of a canonical ensemble of noninteracting bound electrons is presented. It consists in a doubly recursive procedure with respect to the number of electrons and the number of orbitals. Contrary to existing approaches, this recursion relation contains no alternate summation of positive and ...
