Cover Story: Tungsten (W) is used as plasma-facing wall material of magnetically confined plasma devices for nuclear fusion energy developments. Emission lines from highly charged tungsten ions in plasmas are, therefore, useful for passive fusion plasma diagnostics. Optical emission lines have a particular usefulness because mirrors and optical fibers are available to prevent detectors from being directly irradiated with 14 MeV neutrons from fusion plasmas. Using an electron-beam-ion trap (EBIT), a versatile apparatus for spectroscopy of highly charged ions, emission lines of W20+–W29+ are newly identified in a near-UV range. Among them, a magnetic-dipole line of W29+ is studied in detail using a collisional–radiative model and a MCDHF method. View this paper.

23 July 2021

We have applied the full-relativistic Dirac B-Spline R-matrix method to obtain cross sections for electron scattering from ytterbium atoms. The results are compared with those obtained from a semi-relativistic (Breit-Pauli) model-potential approach a...

A capillary pulsed-discharge and a theta-pinch were used to record Kr spectra in the region of 330–4800 Å. A set of 168 transitions of these spectra were classified for the first time. We extended the analysis to twenty-five new energy levels belongi...

  • Vladimir M. Shabaev and
  • Günter Plunien

13 July 2021

The generalized dual-kinetic-balance approach for axially symmetric systems is employed to solve the two-center Dirac problem. The spectra of one-electron homonuclear quasimolecules are calculated and compared with the previous calculations. The anal...

We studied the consequences of the existence of the second flavor of hydrogen atoms (SFHA)—the existence proven by atomic experiments and evidenced by astrophysical observations—on the resonant charge exchange. We found analytically that there is ind...

Classical and Quantum Collective Recoil Lasing: A Tutorial

  • Nicola Piovella,
  • Angel Tarramera Gisbert and
  • Gordon R. M. Robb

6 July 2021

Collective atomic recoil lasing (CARL) is a process during which an ensemble of cold atoms, driven by a far-detuned laser beam, spontaneously organize themselves in periodic structures on the scale of the optical wavelength. The principle was envisag...
