Energy levels, wavefunction compositions, and lifetimes are computed for all levels of 4s24p5, 4s24p44d, and 4s4p6 configurations in Br-like ions (Z = 47–50). We use the multiconfigurational Dirac–Fock method to generate the wavefunctions. We also present the transition wavelengths, oscillator strengths, transition probabilities, and line strengths for the electric dipole (E1) transition from the ground state configuration. We compare our calculated results with the available data in the literature and good agreement is obtained, which confirms the quality of our results. Moreover, we predict some new atomic data that have not been available so far and may be important for plasma diagnostic analysis in fusion plasma.

Energy levels, lifetimes, and wavefunction compositions have been calculated for all levels of odd parity 3s23p5 ground configuration as well as 3s3p6 and 3s23p43d even parity excited configurations in highly charged Cl-like tungsten ion. Transition probabilities, oscillator strengths, and line strengths for E1, E2, M1, and M2 transitions have been obtained using the fully relativistic multiconfiguration Dirac–Fock (MCDF) approach including the correlations within the n = 3 complex, some n = 3 → n = 4 single and double excitations and Breit and quantum electrodynamics effects. For comparison from our calculated energy levels, we have also calculated the energy levels by using the fully relativistic flexible atomic code (FAC). The validity of the method is assessed by comparison with previously published experimental and theoretical data. The excellent agreement observed between our calculated results and those obtained using different approaches confirm the accuracy of our results. Additionally, we have predicted some new atomic data for W57+ that are not available so far and may be important for plasma diagnostic analysis in fusion plasma.

We report accurate calculations of W XLIV through application of multi-configuration Dirac–Fock wave functions. We have calculated the energies for the lowest 100 fine structure levels, transition wavelengths, radiative rates, oscillator strengths, and line strengths for electric (E1) and magnetic dipole (M1) transitions with the extended average level multi-configurational Dirac–Fock method in the General-Purpose Relativistic Atomic Structure Package (GRASP). We have taken into account the electron correlations, quantum electrodynamics (QED) and Breit corrections in our calculations. We have also performed parallel calculations with the flexible atomic code (FAC) to assess the accuracy of our calculations. This is a fully relativistic code that provides a variety of atomic parameters, and (generally) yields results for energy levels and radiative rates comparable to GRASP. Our calculated results match well with experimentally observed results that are obtained in ASDEX upgrade Tokamak. Additionally, we have also provided the line intensity ratios and electron density for W XLIV, which is useful and important in plasma diagnostics and modeling in future International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) experiments. We believe that our results would be beneficial in the areas of fusion plasma research and astrophysical investigations and applications.

In the present work, we provide a most extensive and detailed study of highly ionized Cu-like ions and diagnose extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft X-ray (SXR) transitions with N-shell electron excitation to M-shell and higher shells. We have determined energy levels and lifetimes for lowest 27 fine-structure levels by adopting multiconfiguration Dirac–Fock (MCDF) with the inclusion of quantum electrodynamics (QED) as well as Breit corrections as a first-order perturbation theory. We have also reported complete radiative data for strong electric dipole transitions within lowest 27 levels. We have compared our calculated results with theoretically calculated and experimentally measured results available in the literature, to measure the credibility and genuineness of our results, and achieve good agreement. Further, because of insufficiency of adequate and complete atomic data for higher levels of highly ionized Cu-like ions in the literature, we have performed other equivalent parallel calculations by implementing fully relativistic distorted wave flexible atomic code (FAC) to ensure the accuracy of our results. Additionally, we have also presented transition wavelengths of Nα transitions of high-Z Cu-like ions by using Moseley’s law. We believe that the large amount of atomic data presented in this paper may be useful in fusion and astrophysical plasma and in several applications, especially in lithography and cell biology.

We present accurate atomic structure calculations for the lowest 200 fine structural energy levels for oxygen-like nickel, which may be a useful ion for both astrophysical and fusion plasmas. For the calculations of energy levels and radiative rates, we have used the multiconfigurational Dirac–Fock method. Our results are compared with those obtained using other numerical methods and experiments so that their accuracy can be assessed. The transition wavelengths, oscillator strengths, and radiative rates are reported for electric dipole (E1) transitions from the ground state. We have also presented the transition probabilities and transition wavelength of some forbidden transitions. Finally, we predict new energy levels, oscillator strengths, and transition probability data, where no other theoretical or experimental results are available, which may be useful for future experimental work.

AbstractComplete and consistent atomic data, including excitation energies, lifetimes, wavelengths, hyperfine structures, Landé gJ-factors and E1, E2, M1, and M2 line strengths, oscillator strengths, transitions rates are reported for the low-lying 41 levels of Mo XXVIII, belonging to the n = 3 states (1s22s22p6)3s23p3, 3s3p4, and 3s23p23d. High-accuracy calculations have been performed as benchmarks in the request for accurate treatments of relativity, electron correlation, and quantum electrodynamic (QED) effects in multi-valence-electron systems. Comparisons are made between the present two data sets, as well as with the experimental results and the experimentally compiled energy values of the National Institute for Standards and Technology wherever available. The calculated values including core-valence correction are found to be in a good agreement with other theoretical and experimental values. The present results are accurate enough for identification and deblending of emission lines involving the n = 3 levels, and are also useful for modeling and diagnosing plasmas.

ABSTRACT Accurate atomic data are essential for opacity calculations and for abundance analyses of the Sun and other stars. The aim of this work is to provide accurate and extensive results of energy levels and transition data for C i–iv. The Multiconfiguration Dirac–Hartree–Fock and relativistic configuration interaction methods were used in this work. To improve the quality of the wavefunctions and reduce the relative differences between length and velocity forms for transition data involving high Rydberg states, alternative computational strategies were employed by imposing restrictions on the electron substitutions when constructing the orbital basis for each atom and ion. Transition data, for example, weighted oscillator strengths and transition probabilities, are given for radiative electric dipole (E1) transitions involving levels up to 1s22s22p6s for C i, up to 1s22s27f for C ii, up to 1s22s7f for C iii, and up to 1s28g for C iv. Using the difference between the transition rates in length and velocity gauges as an internal validation, the average uncertainties of all presented E1 transitions are estimated to be 8.05 per cent, 7.20 per cent, 1.77 per cent, and 0.28 per cent, respectively, for C i–iv. Extensive comparisons with available experimental and theoretical results are performed and good agreement is observed for most of the transitions. In addition, the C i data were employed in a re-analysis of the solar carbon abundance. The new transition data give a line-by-line dispersion similar to the one obtained when using transition data that are typically used in stellar spectroscopic applications today.

The interpretation of chromospheric and coronal spectra requires accurate ionization and recombination rates, collision strengths and transition probabilities. Recent projects to improve calculations of opacities in stellar interiors have led to a large amount of new atomic data. Some current and potential applications of atomic data to chromospheric and coronal spectra are mentioned below.Strong chromospheric lines are optically thick, and the solution of the radiative transfer equations can depend on atomic data for other species contributing to the background opacity. Many lines in the spectra of stars with hot coronae are excited by electron collisions, but in the cooler non-coronal giants radiative processes involving the H Lyman α and β lines become more important (see Jordan 1988a). Photo-ionization rates from ground configuration excited terms and oscillator strengths to high levels are still needed.Fe II is an important ion producing emission lines in stellar chromospheres. Several excitation mechanisms contribute to the observed spectra (Jordan 1988b). Permitted lines to the ground term and low lying metastable terms have high optical depths and transfer photons to spin forbidden lines sharing a common upper level (e.g. mults. uv 1 and uv 3 transfer photons to mults. uv 32 and 61). Line intensity ratios yield the optical depth in the optically thick lines. The strong H Ly α line in cool giants and supergiants excites high levels in Fe II, resulting in strong decays in multiplets such as uv 391 and 399. A large number of f-values are required to interpret the lines formed by these radiative processes. Nahar & Pradhan (1994) have published some results from the Opacity Project, calculated by using the close coupling method and observed energy levels (which introduce some allowance for relativistic effects). In most cases these f-values agree with experimental results and the calculations by Kurucz (1988) to within 10%. The latter are still needed for the interpretation of stellar uv spectra because of the treatment of spin-forbidden lines.

We report an extensive and elaborate theoretical study of atomic properties for Pm-like and Eu-like Tungsten using Flexible Atomic Code (FAC). Excitation energies for 304 and 500 fine structure levels are presented respectively, for W11+ and W13+. Properties of the 4f-core-excited states are evaluated. Different sets of configurations are used and the discrepancies in identifications of the ground level are discussed. We evaluate transition wavelength, transition probability, oscillator strength, and collisional excitation cross section for various transitions. Comparisons are made between our calculated values and previously available results, and good agreement has been achieved. We have predicted some new energy levels and transition data where no other experimental or theoretical results are available. The present set of results should be useful in line identification and interpretation of spectra as well as in modelling of fusion plasmas.

Abstract Energy levels, wavelengths, weighted oscillator strengths, transition probabilities and lifetimes are calculated for all levels of 1s 2 and 1snl (n = 2–6) configurations of He-like cadmium ion (Cd XLVII). The calculations were carried out using three codes GRASP2018, FAC and AMBiT in order to provide theoretically the most accurate data. Transition probabilities are reported for all the E1, E2, M1 and M2 transitions. Breit interactions and quantum electrodynamics effects are included in the RCI calculations. Comparisons were made with other calculations and a good agreement was found which confirms the reliability of our results. We present some missing data for the He-like cadmium in this paper for the first time.
