Abstract
Dielectronic recombination rate coefficients for the three initial states of the F-like ions have been calculated for six ions with Z=26, 35, 42, 47, 54, and 63. The calculations were carried out in the isolated resonance approximation for temperatures in the range 0.01≤T≤9 keV. The Auger and radiation rates for each autoionizing state were computed explicitly by use of the multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock model in intermediate coupling with configuration interaction. Comparison is made with previous calculations. The effect of relativity on the Coster-Kronig-type transitions is also discussed.
