Fe XXIII d - VERSION 4.2


The CHIANTI database consists of the following primary ASCII files for this ion:

  1. fe_23d.elvlc (energy levels)
  2. contains the energy levels in cm^(-1) It includes both experimental and theoretical values of the levels energies.

     
    %observed energy levels: Martin, W.C., Sugar, J., Musgrove, A., Dalton, G.R., 1995, 
       NIST Database for Atomic Spectroscopy, Version 1.0, NIST Standard Reference Database 61.
    %theoretical energy levels: Bhatia, A.K., private communications
    %energy levels (above IP): calculations of Safronova reported in Kato et al., 1997, ADNDT, 67, 225.
    %comment: energies have been corrected (Sep 2003). This affects the position of all wavelengths, now
              in much better agreement with observations.

  3. fe_23d.wgfa (radiative data)
  4. contains wavelengths, gf and A values of the transitions. The wavelengths are based on the experimental energy levels and should be the best available. Wavelengths calculated from the theoretical energies are of an indeterminate accuracy and their values are presented as negative values of the calculated wavelength.

    %theoretical energy levels: Sampson, D.H., Goett, S.J., Clark, R.E.H., 1984, ADNDT, 30, 125
    %comment:  several NIST observed energy levels have been changed.

    %oscillator strengths (from n=3 to n=2): Sampson, D.H., Goett, S.J., Clark, R.E.H., 1984, ADNDT, 30, 125
    %comment:  gf values for transitions 19-26 and 23-26 were simply taken to be
       equal to the O V gf values reported by Hibbert, 1980, J. Phys. B, 13, 1721.
       The A values were obtained from the gf values by using the wavelengths listed.
    %A values (above IP):  calculations of Safronova reported in Kato et al., 1997, ADNDT, 67, 225.
    %comment:  theoretical wavelengths of Kato/Safronova are used as observed wavelengths (positive values)

    %comment: theoretical energies have been used as experimental values for the dielectronic transitions
    %comment: level energies and wavelengths have been corrected (Sep 2003). This affects the position of all 
              wavelengths, now in much better agreement with observations.

  5. fe_23d.splups (electron collision data)
  6. contains the spline fits to the electron collision strengths scaled according the rules formulated by Burgess and Tully (1992). Accurate replication of the temperature averaged collision strength over a wide range of temperatures can be accomplished with the data in this file.
