Jm. Bassalo et M. Cattani, QUANTUM-MECHANICAL FORMULAS FOR THE ELECTRON-IMPACT WIDTHS AND SHIFTSOF ISOLATED LINES OF NEUTRAL ATOMS AND IONS IN PLASMAS, Journal of quantitative spectroscopy & radiative transfer, 50(4), 1993, pp. 359-361
A quantum-mechanical approach is applied to calculate the widths and s
hifts produced by fast electron impacts of isolated lines of neutral a
toms and ions. Our predictions are compared with the semiempirical for
mulas obtained by Griem.
