Abstract:
Collision strengths and maxwellian-averaged rate coefficients have
been calculated for 8771 non-vanishing transitions among 140 fine
structure levels, dominated by the configurations 3d^5^, 3d^4^4s, and
3d^4^4p in Fe IV. Collision strengths are calculated using the
R-matrix method with a 49 term close-coupling target expansion for
electron energies up to 15 rydbergs. Rate coefficients are tabulated
for a wide range of temperatures in which Fe IV is abundant in plasma
sources. A brief discussion of the calculations and sample results are
given. The present rates for Fe IV are expected to find applications
in spectral diagnostics of a variety of astrophysical sources.
