Correction: Wong et al. Investigation of a Collisional Radiative Model for Laser-Produced Plasmas. Atoms 2020, 8, 52

Text Correction

The authors wish to make the following corrections to their paper [1]. There was an error in the original publication. The published Equations (5) and (8) had a typographical error in which the first square root term was presented as ${\left(\frac{T_e}{{\chi }_Z}\right)}^{1/2}$ but should be ${\left(\frac{{\chi }_Z}{T_e}\right)}^{1/2}$ according to Colombant and Tonon [2]. However, the simulations were performed using equations with the correct form of the factor.

A correction has been made to Section 2, The CR Model, Section 2.2, Basis of the Model, Paragraph 1, Equation (5):

$${\alpha }_r\left(Z,T_e\right)=5.2\times {10}^{-14}{\left(\frac{{\chi }_Z}{T_e}\right)}^{1/2}Z\left[0.429+\frac{1}{2}\ln \left(\frac{{\chi }_Z}{T_e}\right)+0.469{\left(\frac{T_e}{{\chi }_Z}\right)}^{1/2}\right] \left[{\mathrm{cm}}^3\cdot {\mathrm{s}}^{-1}\right]$$

and to Section 2, The CR Model, Section 2.4 Correction to the Traditional CR Model, Paragraph 1, Equation (8):

$${\alpha }_r\left(Z,T_e\right)=5.2\times {10}^{-14}{\left(\frac{{\chi }_Z}{T_e}\right)}^{1/2}Z\left[0.429+\frac{1}{2}\ln \left(\frac{{\chi }_Z}{T_e}\right)+0.469{\left(\frac{T_e}{{\chi }_Z}\right)}^{1/3}\right] \left[{\mathrm{cm}}^3\cdot {\mathrm{s}}^{-1}\right]$$

The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
