Abstract

An investigation has been made of the

l

-redistribution effect of quasistatic ion electric microfields on dielectronic recombination. Using the linear-Stark-effect approximation, a hydrogen ion density of

10^{14}

{cm}^{- 3}

is found to produce a threefold enhancement in the rate for the dielectronic recombination process

{Fe}^{+ 23} (2 s) + e^{-} \to {Fe}^{+ 22} (2 p, n l) \to {Fe}^{+ 22} (2 s, n l) + ℏ ω
