The contribution of bound electrons to the electronic stopping power is modeled by using shellwise local plasma approximation (SLPA). An improvement this formalism proposed including Levine-Mermin dielectric function (SLPA-LM). This approach considers a more realistic description electron response facing problem damping in collective excitations. We introduce that depends on density each shell, keeping full-theoretical characteristic SLPA. implement present model obtain for metal targets...
Aims. We tested the new atomic model using atmospheric models of stars different spectral types: Sun (dG2), HD22049 (dK2, Epsilon Eridani), GJ 832 (dM2), and 581 (dM3). Methods. used Breit-Pauli distorted-wave (DW) multiconfiguration calculations, which proved to be relevant for many transitions in mid-infrared (MIR) range. The Mg I includes following: i) recomputed ECS data through DW method, including superlevels. ii) For nonlocal thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) population 5676...
Abstract This work presents exchange potentials for specific orbitals calculated by inverting Hartree–Fock wavefunctions. was achieved using a Depurated Inversion Method. The basic idea of the method relies on substitution and eigenvalues into Kohn–Sham equation. Through inversion, corresponding effective were obtained. Further treatment inverted potential should be carried on. depuration is careful optimization which eliminates poles also ensures fullfilment appropriate boundary conditions....
The stopping power of protons through Hf foil has been studied both experimentally and theoretically. measurements were performed at the Laboratory Accelerators X-Ray Diffraction in Lisbon by using transmission method on self-supporting material. overall uncertainty around $5%$ was established over energy range (0.6--2.5) MeV. theoretical developments involved fully relativistic atomic structure calculations for Hf, which required solution Dirac equation. shell-wise local plasma...

In the last decade, lanthanides have become subject of multiple studies due to their importance in technological applications. This paper aims systematically study energy loss per unit length protons on 15 lanthanides, from lanthanum lutetium. We investigate stopping power cross sections by considering influence relativistic atomic structure, namely description $4f$ electrons, number electrons valence shells, and electronic screening same or close subshells. The model considers separate...
Abstract In the present work, we investigate ionization of molecules biological interest by impact multicharged ions in intermediate to high energy range. We performed full non-perturbative distorted-wave calculations (CDW) for thirty-six collisional systems composed six atomic targets: H, C, N, O, F, and S—which are constituents most DNA molecules—and charged projectiles (antiprotons, He, B, O). On account radiation damage caused secondary electrons, inspect angular distributions emitted...

Semi-empirical models of the solar atmosphere are used to study radiative environment any planet in our system. There is a need for reliable atomic data neutral atoms and ions obtain improved calculated spectra. Atomic parameters crucial computing correct population elements through whole stellar atmosphere. Although there very good agreement between observed spectra Sun, still mismatch several spectral ranges due lack its inaccuracies, particularly neutrals like Mg I. To correctly represent...

In this contribution, we review the state of art experimental electronic stopping power data available in IAEA database. We examine thoroughly abundance or lack data, quality recent measurements, and trends. analyze evolution time characteristics, achievements, failures. also discuss comparisons with SRIM-2013 calculations for many interesting cases. Sparsely measured systems energy regions are observed, stressing need new reliable independent theoretical predictions.
