  • 本文采用双中心原子轨道强耦合方法和Debye屏蔽势,系统研究了等离子体环境中碰撞能量在0.5-200 keV/u范围内N7+离子与H (1s)原子的电子俘获过程。结果表明,碰撞能量低于约5 keV/u时,俘获到4l态的截面随屏蔽长度的减小呈现先增大后减小的变化趋势。这是由于屏蔽效应增强导致初末态的能级差减小,强相互作用范围扩大,在碰撞能量较低的情况下系统在该区域中停留的时间延长,从而增加了跃迁概率。相比之下,5l态对应的能级差变化较小,其俘获截面始终呈下降趋势。上述差异导致随着屏蔽效应的增强,主要俘获通道由n=5转变为了n=4。此外,本文还研究了等离子体屏蔽效应对电荷交换光谱线的影响。与无屏蔽情形相比,所有谱线均发生红移,且红移量随屏蔽长度减小而增大。谱线强度随屏蔽长度的变化呈现明显的碰撞能量依赖关系:在较低碰撞能量下,n=4的截面增大效应占主导,低主量子数谱线强度随屏蔽效应增强而增大;在较高碰撞能量下,n=4的截面增大效应减弱,仅n=4的谱线强度仍略有增大。本研究揭示了等离子体屏蔽效应对非对称碰撞系统中不同俘获通道竞争机制的调控作用,相关结果可以为相关领域中的电荷交换光谱诊断提供理论依据。

     

    The electron capture process in N7+ + H (1s) collisions in a plasma environment is systematically investigated using the two-center atomic orbital close-coupling method and the Debye screening potential, for collision energies ranging from 0.5 to 200 keV/u. The results indicate that for collision energies below approximately 5 keV/u, the cross section for capture into the 4l states first increases and then decreases as the screening length decreases. This non-monotonic behavior arises because enhanced screening strength reduces the energy gap between the initial and final states, thereby enlarging the region of strong interaction, and at lower collision energies, the system resides in this interaction region for a longer duration, leading to an increased transition probability. In contrast, the energy differences for the 5l states change only slightly with increasing screening strength, and its cross section exhibits a monotonic decline under the screening effect. Consequently, as screening intensifies, the dominant capture channel shifts from n=5 to n=4. By comparing the present results with previous studies on C6+ + H (Z=6) and O8+ + H (Z= 8) systems, a systematic trend emerges: as the projectile nuclear charge Z increases, the dominant capture channel in the unscreened case moves to higher principal quantum numbers n, whereas the plasma screening effect tends to enhance the lower-n channels. The N7+ system (Z=7) lies exactly in the critical region where these two competing factors cross, which explains why the dominant channel switching is observed in this system. In addition, the effect of plasma screening on charge exchange spectral lines is investigated. Compared with the unscreened case, all spectral lines are redshifted, and the redshift magnitude increases with decreasing screening length. The spectral line intensities exhibit a clear dependence on collision energy as the screening length varies: at lower collision energies, the enhancement of the n=4 capture cross section dominates, and the intensities of low-n spectral lines increase with increasing screening strength; at higher collision energies, this enhancement weakens, and only the n=4 spectral lines show a slight increase in intensity. This work reveals the modulation mechanism of the plasma screening effect on the competition among different capture channels in asymmetric collision systems, and the findings provide a theoretical basis for charge exchange spectroscopic diagnostics in related fields.
