Account of the Fine Structure of Hydrogen Atom Levels in the Effective Emission Cross Sections of Balmer Lines Excited by Electron Impact in Gases and Plasma

TL;DR: In this paper, a significant difference was found in the emission cross sections and the rate coefficients of direct and dissociative excitation of the H istg α and H istg β lines by electron impact in two limiting cases.

Hydrogen release from plasma-facing components into fusion plasmas - recent results from a spectroscopic approach

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that corrections to the estimated hydrogen flux may be required -a procedure is proposed in order to obtain values for an effective S/XB coefficient for atomic hydrogen (≠15), which denotes the ratio of the collisional ionization (S) to the excitation (X) rate coefficients, divided by the branching ratio B.

TRIATOM, SELECT and ROTLEV ― for the calculation of the ro-vibrational levels of triatomic molecules

TL;DR: The TRIATOM method of solution as mentioned in this paper is a variational approach to solve the problem of rotational basis set parameter optimization, which allows the basis set parameters to be optimized.

Symmetry of the atomic electron density in Hartree, Hartree-Fock, and density-functional theories

H. A. Fertig, +1 more
- 16 Oct 2000 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the degree of the violation of spherical harmonic content of the Hartree, Hartree-Fock, and Local Density Approximations and showed that it is small.
