Complex multi-body interactions between ions and surrounding charged particles exist in hot and dense plasmas. It will screen the Coulomb potential between the nucleus and electrons, and significantly change the atomic structures and dynamic properties. This will further affect macroscopic plasma properties such as radiation opacity and the equation of state. Based on the atomic-state-dependent (ASD) screening model, we investigate the photoionization dynamic of Fe25+ ion in hot and dense plasmas. The photoionization cross section for all transition channels and total cross sections of n ≤ 2 states for Fe25+ are studied in detail, as well as the low-energy characteristics induced by plasma screening. Compared to the classical Debye Hückel model, the ASD model incorporated the degeneracy effects by inelastic collision processes, resulting in higher plasma density requirements for bound electrons to merge into the continuum. Near the threshold, the photoionization cross section obeys the Wigner threshold law after considering the screening effect. As the energy increases, the cross sections show low-energy characteristics such as shape resonance, Cooper minimum, low-energy enhancement, and Combet-Farnoux minimum, etc., which can significantly increase or decrease the cross section of the corresponding energy region. For example, the low-energy enhancement in the 2p→εs1/2 channel increases the cross section by several orders of magnitude, drastically changing the properties of the photoelectron spectrum. It is significant to study the low-energy characteristics for understanding the physical properties of the photoionization cross section. Fe is an important element in astrophysics. The cross section results in the middle and high energy region calculated by the ASD model in this paper can provide theoretical and data support for the investigation of hot and dense plasmas in Astrophysics and laboratory situations.
