Calculational results for the photoionization cross sections leading to the ionic Mg + (3s, 3p, 4s and 3d) states from the excited 3s3p 1,3 P o states of atomic magnesium are reported in the energy region from the first ionization threshold up to the Mg + (4p) threshold limit. For these calculations, we have used an enhanced non-iterative variational R-matrix approach combined with multichannel quantum-defect theory at the R-matrix surface. Autoionizing doubly excited 1,3 S, 1,3 P and 1,3 D resonance structures converging to the Mg + (3p, 4s, 3d and 4p) thresholds are discussed with resonant energies E r , effective quantum numbers n * and widths . The present photoionization cross sections are in good agreement with previous available calculations. There is excellent agreement between length and velocity gauges in our calculations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
