In this paper we present a self-consistent-field calculation for energy levels of He-like ions immersed in dense and hot plasmas. Exchange and correlation energies between bound electrons are shown to be much less perturbed than the single-particle energy. Concurrently, a fully quantummechanical impact calculation has been made to obtain the matrix elements of the complex electron line-broadening operator I,. In the special case of the principal series, it is shown that the line shifts given by the two approaches are in good agreement for typical electron temperatures and densities of laser plasmas.
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.
