K-line emission profiles with focus on the self-consistent calculation of plasma polarization

Abstract: The emitted K α-spectra of moderately ionized titanium radiators in a medium are used to determine plasma temperature and composition in electron heated target regions. A theoretical treatment of spectral line profiles using selfconsistent Hartree-Fock and ion sphere model calculations to determine the influence of plasma polarization is applied. We confirm the importance of excited emitter states for line shape modeling.

“…Their width was measured as ≈3.1 eV, which is broader than the reported natural Ti-K α linewidth of about 1.45 eV and 2.13 eV 67 , respectively. This broadening has been observed before 68,69 and attributed to emission contributions from atoms in higher ionization states.…”

“…The corresponding states with a vacancy in either K or L shell (e.g., 1s2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 5 4s and 1s 2 2s 2 2p 5 3s 2 3p 5 4s) were excluded from the calculations as well. It should be noted that the energies of some of the 4s-excited states are only slightly higher than the ionization threshold, therefore a more scrupulous approach would be to treat such states within the effective-statistical-weights model [16,17], which is similar in spirit to using the Planck-Larkin renormalization of the partition function, as is done in [9]. However, the contribution of the 4s states to the lineshapes turned out to be very small.…”

“…Due to its metallic character at solid density, the initial state is considered to be fourfold ionized, i.e. an ion with Ar-like outer shell immersed in a dense gas of free electrons [13]. Thus, we assume a starting ionization of m 0 = 4 within the set of Saha equations (4).…”
