Effect of autoionizing states with a high-lying spectator electron on population inversion of nitrogen plasma in recombining phase

Discharge produced plasma (DPP) is a promising tool to generate effective extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light. A hydrogen-like nitrogen ion emits light at 13.4 nm with an optical allowed atomic transition from n = 3 to 2, where n stands for a principal quantum number. We focus on the properties of popul...
