Description

Effective dielectronic recombination coefficients are calculated for the total recombination, as well as for selected lines and ground and metastable terms of ions of Mg, Al and Si. We restrict the calculation to those ions for which the recombining ion has n=3 valence electrons. Coupling schemes are discussed, and we conclude that in most cases pure LS coupling is not appropriate for the resonance states. The effective recombination coefficients are fitted to a convenient function of temperature in the range 103 K to 6 x 104 K
