A relativistic many-body method is developed to calculate energy and transition rates for multipole transitions in many-electron ions. This method is based on relativistic many-body perturbation theory (RMBPT), agrees with MCDF calculations in lowest order, includes all second-order correlation corrections, and includes corrections from negative-energy states. Reduced matrix elements, oscillator strengths, and transition rates are calculated for electric-dipole (E1) and electric-quadrupole (E2) transitions, and magnetic-dipole (M1) and magnetic-quadrupole (M2) transitions in Ni-like ions with nuclear charges ranging from Z = 30 to 100. The calculations start from a 1s22s22p63s23p63d10 Dirac–Fock potential. First-order perturbation theory is used to obtain intermediate-coupling coefficients, and second-order RMBPT is used to determine the matrix elements. The contributions from negative-energy states are included in the second-order E1, M1, E2, and M2 matrix elements. The resulting transition energies and transition rates are compared with experimental values and withresults from other recent calculations.PACS Nos.: 32.30.Rj, 32.70.Cs, 32.80.Rm, 34.70.+e

We have reported a relativistic multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) study on low-lying level structures of protactinium IV (Z =91) and uranium V (Z =92) ions. Excitation energies and electric dipole (E1) transition parameters (wavelengths, oscillator strengths, and transition rates) for these low-lying levels have been given. We have also investigated the influence of the transverse Breit and quantum electrodynamic (QED) contributions besides correlation effects on the level structure. A comparison has been made with a few available data for these ions in the literature.

Using the general-purpose relativistic atomic structure package (GRASP) based on a fully relativistic multiconfiguration Dirac–Fock (MCDF) method, the transition parameters, such as transition rates (probabilities), oscillator strengths, and line strengths for the electric dipole transitions between low-lying levels are evaluated for doubly ionized krypton, xenon, and radon. Breit interactions for relativistic effects and quantum electrodynamical (QED) contributions besides valence and valence–core correlation effects are taken into account in calculations. We compare the results obtained with the available data in the literature and discuss them, when possible.

Energies of [Kr]4d94f2, [Kr]4d94f5l, and [Kr]4d95l5l′ states (with l = s, p, d, f) for Ag-like ions with Z = 50–100 are evaluated to second order in relativistic many-body perturbation theory (RMBPT) starting from a Pd-like Dirac–Fock potential ([Kr]4d10). Second-order Coulomb and Breit–Coulomb interactions are included. Correction for the frequency dependence of the Breit interaction is taken into account in lowest order. The Lamb-shift correction to energies is also included in lowest order. Intrinsic particle–particle–hole contributions to energies are found to be 20–30% of the sum of the one- and two-body contributions. Transition rates and line strengths are calculated for the 4d–4f and 4d–5l electric-dipole (E1) transitions in Ag-like ions with nuclear charge Z = 50–100. RMBPT including the Breit interaction is used to evaluate retarded E1 matrix elements in length and velocity forms. First-order RMBPT is used to obtain intermediate coupling coefficients and second-order RMBPT is used to calculate transition matrix elements. A detailed discussion of the various contributions to the dipole matrix elements and energy levels is given for silverlike tungsten (Z = 74). The transition energies included in the calculation of oscillator strengths and transition rates are from second-order RMBPT. Trends of the transition rates as functions of Z are illustrated graphically for selected transitions. Additionally, we perform calculations of energies and transition rates for Ag-like W by the Hartree–Fock relativistic method (Cowan code) and the Multiconfiguration Relativistic Hebrew University Lawrence Atomic Code (HULLAC code) to compare with results from the RMBPT code. These atomic data are important in modeling of N-shell radiation spectra of heavy ions generated in various collision as well as plasma experiments. The tungsten data are particularly important for fusion application.PACS Nos.: 31.15.A–, 31.15.ag, 31.15.am, 31.15.aj
