Hydrogen-like ions with high Z present unique opportunities to promote the understanding of atomic structure. On the other hand, determining the atomic structure of hydrogen-like atoms provides us the test of relativistic effects as well as accurate values of the spectral characteristics required for many applications. For this reason we have calculated level energies of hydrogen like thorium (Th89+, Z = 90) with both multiconfiguration Hartree–Fock (MCHF) and multiconfiguration Dirac–Fock (MCDF) methods. These calculations have contained the Breit–Pauli relativistic corrections in MCHF calculation and quantum electrodynamics effects in MCDF calculations besides electron correlations. The wavelengths, λ, weighted oscillator strengths, gf-value, and transition probabilities, Aki, have been also represented for allowed (E1) and forbidden (E2 and M1) transitions. We have compared our results with only theoretical work results because there is no available experimental data for Th89+.

The transition parameters such as the wavelengths, weighted oscillator strengths, and transition probabilities (or rates) for the nd (n=5−9)−nf (n=4−8), nd (n=5−9)−np (n=6−9), np (n=6−9)−ns (n=6−10), and ng (n=5−8)−nf (n=4−8) electric dipole (E1) transitions of doubly ionized lanthanum (La III, Z=57) have been calculated using the relativistic Hartree-Fock (HFR) method. In this method, configuration interaction and relativistic effects have been included in the computations combined with a least squares fitting of the Hamiltonian eigenvalues to the observed energy levels. We have compared the results obtained from this work with the previously available calculations and experiments in literature. We have also reported new transitions with the weighted transition probabilities greater than or equal to 105.

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.

The spectral parameters (energy levels, wavelengths, transition probabilities, line strengths and oscillator strengths) of resonance lines for Ba VIII, La IX and Ce X have been performed using the multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock method, the contributions of quantum electrodynamics and Breit interactions correction are taken into considered. The calculated results of energy levels and wavelengths are in good agreement with experimental values and other calculation. The number of energy levels and wavelengths considered is larger than that of any other experiment values and other calculations. The transition probabilities, line strengths and oscillator strengths are also calculated where no other theoretical results and experimental values are available.

The ab initio quasirelativistic approximation was used to derive transition data for the multicharged tungsten ions W38+–W43+ with an open 4p shell. The configuration interaction method with transformed radial orbitals was applied to include electron correlation effects. The relativistic effects were taken into account in the Breit–Pauli approximation for the quasirelativistic Hartree–Fock radial orbitals. The level energies E, radiative lifetimes τ, and Landé g-factors were calculated for the 4s24pN, 4s24pN–14d, and 4s4pN+1 configurations of six tungsten ions. The radiative transition wavelengths λ, spontaneous emission transition probabilities A and their uncertainties for the electric dipole, electric quadrupole, electric octupole, magnetic dipole and magnetic quadrupole transitions among the levels of these configurations are presented.

Studying hydrogenic ions with high Z is an occasion to understand atomic structure. It also provides a reliable test of methods used to determine atomic structures. Many fields and applications require precise atomic data. For this reason, a hydrogen-like study is performed for lawrencium (Lr102+, Z = 103). The energy levels of hydrogen-like lawrencium are calculated with both multiconfiguration Hartree–Fock (MCHF) and multiconfiguration Dirac–Fock (MCDF) methods. The calculations contain Breit–Pauli relativistic corrections in MCHF calculation and the transverse photon and quantum electrodynamics (QED) effects in MCDF calculation along with electron correlations. In addition, some transition parameters (wavelengths, λ, logarithmic weighted oscillator strengths, log(gf) value, and transition probabilities, Aki) for allowed (E1) and forbidden (E2 and M1) transitions are investigated. The results from this study are compared with only a few theoretical works, but there is no available experimental data yet for Lr102+.

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.

We have investigated the correlation, relativistic, and isotope shift effects on the fine structure levels in the ground state configuration for the antimony anion ( Sb-). Energies and radiative transition probabilities (for magnetic dipole, M1, and electric quadrupole, E2) have been obtained using the multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock method within the framework of the Breit-Pauli Hamiltonian. Therefore, the most important configuration interaction and relativistic effects have been included. Comparisons with other available works are presented. For some M1 and E2 lines the considered transition probabilities are reported for the first time

The lines of the transitions between the subordinate levels of the CIII, NIII etc. ions are observed in the spectra of planetary nebulae (PN) (1). Their theoretical intensities may be found by solving the stationarity equations and accounting for both the recombination and cascade radiative transitions. It is possible to calculate the recombination spectra in various approaches: the single- or multi-configuration approximations (SCA and MCA) making use of both the superposition of configurations (SC) or the multiconfigurational Hartree-Fock-Jucys equations (2), taking into consideration the contribution of the dielectronic recombination to the intensities of the recombination lines. The energy spectra, the transition probabilities etc., as a rule ought to be calculated in the intermediate coupling scheme (2). Both analytical or numerical (e.g. Hartree-Fock) wave functions may be adopted.

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.
