Large scale calculations of electron-atom/ion processes
K. T. Taylor · AIP conference proceedings · 1990
A number of ‘large‐scale’ calculations using supercomputers are discussed including the generation of atomic data in the Opacity Project; the diagonalisation of large matrices on the CRAY X‐MP/48, and application in state‐of‐the‐art calculations on electron‐helium scattering; the novel topic of Rydberg states of diatomic molecules in a magnetic field. The use of linked arrays of transputers is considered, not only in relation to large existing FORTRAN codes but also with new codes employing extremely advantageous algorithms.
