In the
present calculations, an im
proved “to
p-u
p” method, which em
ploys relativistic
plane waves, was used to obtain the high
partial-wave contribution for each transition, in contrast to the
partial-relativistic Coulomb–Bethe a
pproximation used in
previous works by
Zhang, Sam
pson and Fontes [H.L. Zhang, D.H. Sam
pson, C.J. Fontes, At. Data Nucl. Data Tables 44 (1990) 31; H.L. Zhang, D.H. Sam
pson, C.J. Fontes, At. Data Nucl. Data Tables 48 (1991) 25; D.H. Sam
pson, H.L. Zhang, C.J. Fontes, At. Data Nucl. Data Tables 44 (1990) 209]. In those
previous works, collision strengths were also
provided for Li-, F- and Na-like ions, but for a more com
prehensive set of transitions. The collision strengths covered in the
present work should be more accurate than the corres
ponding data given in those
previous works and are
presented here to re
place those earlier results.
