Semi-empirical transition probabilities for magnetic dipole (M1) and electric quadrupole (E2) emission lines have been derived from parametric studies of experimental energy levels in Tm3+ (Tm IV), Yb4+ (Yb V), and Er3+ (Er IV), using Cowan codes. Results are compared with those existing from ab initio calculations or from more sophisticated semi-empirical calculations. Satisfactory agreements show that simple parametric calculations can provide good predictions on line intensities, provided that experimental levels are available, allowing reliable fits of energy parameters.

Forbidden electric quadrupole (E2) and magnetic dipole (M1) transitions are of extreme importance in astrophysics. Up to now the most extensive calculations for the nitrogen isoelectronic sequence have been done using the method proposed by C.J. Zeippen [1] or in MCHF approximation [2]. To account for electron correlations both these methods use a large list of configurations. We have chosen the stationary many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) [3] for the inclusion of the electron correlations. The calculations have been perfomed in the second order in the complete model space 1s22s2p3+ 1s22p5. Relativistic corrections have been accounted for in the Breit-Pauli approximation. In the Table we present probabilities for electric quadrupole W(E2) and magnetic dipole W(M1) transitions (in s−1), wavelengths λ (in A). The comparision of the results shows that our second order calculation data in the most cases are closer to term-energy corrected ones from [1].

We have reported the wavelengths, transition probabilities (or rates), oscillator strengths, and line strengths for forbidden transitions (electric quadrupole, E2, and magnetic dipole, M1) in doubly and triply ionized krypton, xenon, and radon using the general-purpose relativistic atomic structure package (GRASP). The results obtained from transitions between the levels of ground state configuration are in agreement with other available results in the literature. The data on forbidden transitions between high levels for these ions have been firstly presented in this work.

We have performed large-scale CIV3 calculations of excitation energies from the ground state for 97 fine-structure levels as well as of oscillator strengths and radiative decay rates for all electric-dipole-allowed and intercombination transitions among the fine-structure levels of the terms belonging to the (1s22s22p6)3s23p, 3s3p2, 3s23d, 3p3, 3s3p3d, 3p23d, 3s3d2, 3s24s, 3s24p, 3s24d, 3s24f, and 3s3p4s configurations of Cu XVII. These states are represented by very extensive configuration-interaction (CI) wave functions obtained with the CIV3 (Configuration-Interaction Version 3) computer code of Hibbert. The important relativistic effects in intermediate coupling are incorporated by means of the Breit–Pauli Hamiltonian, which consists of the nonrelativistic term plus the one-body mass correction, Darwin term, and spin–orbit, spin–other-orbit, and spin–spin operators. To keep our calculated energy splittings as close as possible to the experimental values (wherever available), we have made small adjustments to the diagonal elements of the Hamiltonian matrices. Our calculated excitation energies, including their ordering, are in excellent agreement with the available experimental results. From our radiative decay rates we have also calculated radiative lifetimes of some fine-structure levels. The mixing among several fine-structure levels is found to be so strong that the correct identification of these levels becomes very difficult. We believe that our extensive calculations will be useful to experimentalists in identifying the fine-structure levels in their future work. In this calculation we also predict new data for several fine-structure levels where no other theoretical and (or) experimental results are available.

We report calculations of energy levels, radiative decay rates, and lifetimes for transitions among the 3s23p5, 3s3p6, and 3s23p43d configurations of Cl-like W LVIII. The general-purpose relativistic atomic structure package (GRASP) has been adopted for our calculations. Comparisons are made with the most recent results of Mohan et al. (Can. J. Phys. 92, 177 (2014). doi:10.1139/cjp-2013-0348) and discrepancies in lifetimes are noted, up to four orders of magnitude in some instances. Our energy levels are estimated to be accurate to better than 0.5%, whereas results for radiative rates and lifetimes should be accurate to better than 20%.

Wavelengths, transition probabilities and oscillator strengths have been calculated for electric dipole (E1) transitions and magnetic dipole (M1) transitions in Cu-like Au ion. These values are obtained in the configuration interaction (CI) and using the fully relativistic multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) method including quantum electrodynamical (QED) effect and Breit correction. Obtained energy levels of some excited states in Cu-like Au ion from the method are generally in good agreement with valuable theoretical and experimental results. The calculation results indicate that for high-Z highly ionized atom, some forbidden transitions are very important.
