Electron impact excitation rate coefficients for P-like Ni XIV

We have calculated the atomic data including electron impact excitations and radiative decays among the lowest 143 fine-structure levels arising from 3 s 2 3 p 3 , 3 s 3 p 4 , 3 s 2 3 p 2 3 d , 3 p 5 , 3 s 3 p 3 3 d , and 3 s 2 3 p 3 d 2 configurations in P-like Ni XIV. Direct excitation collision strengths are calculated employing the relativistic distorted-wave method. Resonances are included via the isolated resonance approximation using distorted-waves. Resonance contributions from S-like [ 3 s 2 3 p 3 , 3 s 3 p 4 , 3 s 2 3 p 2 3 d , 3 p 5 , 3 s 3 p 3 3 d , 3 s 2 3 p 3 d 2 , 3 p 4 3 d , 3 s 3 p 2 3 d 2 , 3 s 2 3 d 3 ] n ′ l ′ complex series are taken into account. Effective collision strengths are reported over an electron temperature range of 1.0×105–1.0×108 K.
