Abstract:
    Collision strengths and maxwellian averaged rate coefficients have
    been calculated for 10011 infrared, optical and ultraviolet
    transitions among 142 fine structure levels in Fe II. Collision
    strengths are calculated using the R-matrix method with a 38 term
    close-coupling target expansion and for electron energies up to 10
    rydbergs. Rate coefficients are tabulated at a wide range of
    temperatures at which Fe II is abundant in plasma sources. A brief
    discussion of the calculations, sample results, and comparison with
    earlier works are given. The present rates for Fe II are expected to
    find applications in the IR, O, and UV spectral diagnostics of
    astrophysical objects and laboratory fusion plasmas
