摘要A programme is developed to calculate the polarizations of the radiation emitted after electron impact excitation. The fully relativistic distorted-wave method is used in cross-section calculations. The programme is applied to He- and Li-like ions. The calculated values of line polarization are compared with other theoretical results and experimental values. For He-like U, at lower incident energy, the present polarization agrees with the other theoretical ones within 1%, while at higher energy, the differences increase up to about 10%. For He-like Fe and Ti, the present results of polarization degree for most of the lines agree with the experimental data within the experimental error bars. For the Li-like Ti line q (1s2s2p2P 3/2 to 1s22s), the present value of the polarization agree excellently with another theoretical one, and both the values are consistent with the measured data within the experimental error bar.
