Dielectronic Recombination of Ground-State and Metastable Li+ Ions
Abstract
Dielectronic recombination has been investigated for Delta-n = 1 resonances of ground-state Li+(1s2) and for Delta-n = 0 resonances of metastable Li+(1s2s 3S). The ground-state spectrum shows three prominent transitions between 53 and 64 eV, while the metastable spectrum exhibits many transitions with energies < 3.2 eV. Reasonably good agreement of R-matrix, LS coupling calculations with the measured recombination rate coefficient is obtained. The time dependence of the recombination rate yields a radiative lifetime of 52.2 +- 5.0 s for the 2 3S level of Li+.
