The electron impact ionization is a crucial atomic process in the collisional radiative model and the study of ionization balance. The superstatistics theory, which was originally proposed for the study of non-equilibrium complex systems, has recently been extended to studies of small systems interacting with a finite environment due to their interesting statistical behavior. This paper introduces the superstatistics formalism in the case of ionization rates with different values of the dynamical parameter q and shows how it affects the calculation of the ionization rates for Li+. Moreover, the distribution function for the effective Boltzmann factor of superstatistics was swapped.
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.
