The STAG Code: A Fully Relativistic Super Transition Array Calculation Using Green's Functions (2305.00921v1)

Published 1 May 2023 in physics.plasm-ph and physics.atom-ph

Abstract: Calculating opacities for a wide range of plasma conditions (i.e. temperature, density, element) requires detailed knowledge of the plasma configuration space and electronic structure. For plasmas composed of heavier elements, relativistic effects are important in both the electronic structure and the details of opacity spectra. We extend our previously described superconfiguration and super transition array capabilities [N. M. Gill et al., JPB, 56, 015001 (2023)] to include a fully relativistic formalism. The use of hybrid bound-continuum supershells in our superconfigurations demonstrates the importance of a consistent treatment of bound and continuum electrons in dense plasma opacities, and we expand the discussion of these consequences to include issues associated with equation of state and electron correlations between bound and continuum electrons.
