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.

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.

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.

In this work, we provide a detailed and elaborate theoretical study of atomic data along with plasma parameters for Kr XXIV. We have computed energy levels, lifetimes, and wave-function compositions for the lowest 148 fine-structure levels by implementing the multi-configuration Dirac–Fock method with the addition of quantum electrodynamics as well as Breit corrections. We have also given the radiative data among 148 levels for electric dipole (E1) transition, which lie in the extreme ultraviolet range. We have compared our calculated results with NIST and other theoretical results available in the literature and attain a good agreement. Because of the unavailability of sufficient and complete data for higher excited levels for Kr XXIV in the literature, a similar calculation has also been compiled using fully relativistic flexible atomic code (FAC) to access the credibility and integrity of our results. On the other hand, we have also presented the line intensity ratio and plasma parameters for optically thin plasma, which are not published anywhere in the literature, and we believe that our presented results may be advantageous in plasma modeling and astrophysical and fusion plasma research applications.

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.

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.

We report an extensive and elaborate theoretical study of atomic data for Cs XXV by using multi-configuration Dirac–Fock method and calculated energy levels for the lowest 110 fine structure levels. We have presented the radiative data for electric and magnetic dipole (E1, M1) and quadrupole (E2, M2) transitions among lowest 110 levels. We have made comparisons of our calculated excitation energies with theoretically calculated and experimentally observed energy levels. We have studied the effect of correlation by introducing more configurations in our calculations. We have also computed energy levels by performing similar relativistic distorted wave calculations using Flexible Atomic Code. Additionally, we have also provided new atomic data for Cs XXV and identified extreme ultraviolet and soft X-ray spectral lines with gA spectra for E1 and M2 transitions, which are not published elsewhere in the literature. We believe that our results may be beneficial in fusion plasma research and applications.

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 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.

Relativistic Hartree–Fock and multiconfigurational Dirac–Fock calculations of atomic structure and transition rates have been carried out in trebly ionized lanthanum (La3+, Z = 57). The calculations have to cope with configuration interaction effects but also with the very complex situation of the collapse of the 4f wave function. The calculations are compared to experimental data obtained with beam-foil spectroscopy in the extreme ultraviolet, at ion energies that favour the production of the spectrum La IV. Besides lines known from sliding spark discharges, many more lines are observed that have not yet been identified. Time-resolved measurements yield three level lifetimes in La IV that agree roughly with the results of our own calculations.
