    Figures & Tables(6)
    Hollow ion X-ray transition energies (resonance cases are indicated by the solid squares connected by the black line) and ionization energies for excitation channels I and II for free ions (dashed red and green lines) and ions immersed in dense plasmas (solid red and green lines). Solid and dashed lines are simple linear fits to better guide the eye for each excitation channel.
    Hollow ion X-ray transition energies (red circles in blue rectangles) and ionization energies for excitation channels III and IV for free ions (dashed red and green lines) and ions immersed in dense plasmas (solid red and green lines). The below-resonance emission for K0L1 (black horizontal dashed curve) is indicated by the solid vertical arrow.
    Hollow ion X-ray transition energies (the resonance case is indicated by red circles in blue rectangles) and ionization energies for excitation channels V and VI for free ions (dashed red and green lines) and ions immersed in dense plasmas (solid red and green lines). The below-resonance emission corresponds to the blue area below the resonance position (diffuse red circles inside blue rectangles) in the vertical direction.
    • Table 1. Comparison of transition energies as well as K-edge energies in solid and vapor for magnesium with reference data.57 The present theory is based on self-consistent field multiconfiguration Hartree–Fock calculations including configuration interaction and exact exchange terms. No shifts or Coulomb scaling parameters have been applied in the present simulations.

    • Table 2. Ionization energies for the transitions K1LNK0LN + Ez(K1) and K2LNK1LN + Ez(K2) of magnesium of plasma-free ions and ions in dense plasmas. The present theory is based on self-consistent multiconfiguration Hartree–Fock calculations taking into account a dense-plasma potential according to Eqs. (1)(5), with respective plasma parameters attributed to each L-shell configuration. Note that no calibration shifts or Coulomb scaling parameters have been applied in the ab initio Hartree–Fock calculations that take into account the exact exchange term.
