Energy levels, transition probabilities, and electron impact excitation collision strengths for Xe XXVII

The energy levels, spontaneous radiative decay rates, and electron impact collision strengths are calculated for Xe XXVII. The data refer to 107 fine-structure levels belonging to the configurations (1s²2s²2p⁶)3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰, 3s²3p⁶3d⁹4l, 3s²3p⁵3d¹⁰4l and 3s3p⁶3d¹⁰4l (l = s, p, d, f). The collision strengths are calculated with a grid of 20 collision energies between 10 and 1500 eV in terms of the energy of the scattered electron, by using the distorted-wave approximation. Effective collision strengths are obtained at six temperatures, T_e (eV) = 10, 100, 300, 500, 800 and 1500, by integrating the collision strengths over a Maxwellian electron distribution. Coupled with these atomic data, a hydrodynamic code MED103 can be used to simulate the Ni-like Xe X-ray laser.

Comparisons have been made with available theoretical and experimental results.

Energy levels, oscillator strengths and transition probabilities for Si-like P II, S III, Cl IV, Ar V and K VI

Fine-structure calculations of energy levels, oscillator strengths, and transition probabilities for transitions among the terms belonging to 3s²3p², 3s3p³, 3s²3p3d, 3s²3p4s, 3s²3p4p, 3s²3p4d, 3s²3p5s and 3s²3p5p configurations of silicon-like ions P II, S III, Cl IV, Ar V and K VI have been calculated using configuration-interaction version 3 (CIV3). We compared our data with the available experimental data and other theoretical calculations. Most of our calculations of energy levels and oscillator strengths (in length form) show good agreement with both experimental and theoretical data.

Relativistic energy levels, lifetimes, and transition probabilities for the sodium-like to argon-like sequences

Energy levels, lifetimes, and transition probabilities for transitions between computed levels are reported for the Na-like (Z = 11, … , 26) to Ar-like (Z = 18, … , 30) sequences. Several methods have been used—non-orthogonal spline CI, multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock (MCHF), and also multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock (MCDHF). The first two methods included relativistic effects through the Breit-Pauli Hamiltonian, omitting only the orbit-orbit interaction. Both allowed (E1) and some forbidden (M1, E2, M2, E3) transitions are reported.     

Fine-structure calculations of energy levels,oscillator strengths,and transition probabilities for sulfur-like iron,Fe XI

Energy levels, oscillator strengths, and transition probabilities for transitions among the 14 LS states belonging to configurations of sulfur-like iron, Fe XI, have been calculated. These states are represented by configuration interaction wavefunctions and have configurations 3s²3p⁴, 3s3p⁵, 3s²3p³3d, 3s²3p³4s, 3s²3p³4p, and 3s²3p³4d, which give rise to 123 fine-structure energy levels. Extensive configuration interaction calculations using the CIV3 code have been performed. To assess the importance of relativistic effects, the intermediate coupling scheme by means of the Breit–Pauli Hamiltonian terms, such as the one-body mass correction and Darwin term, and spin–orbit, spin–other-orbit, and spin–spin corrections, are incorporated within the code. These incorporations adjusted the energy levels, therefore the calculated values are close to the available experimental data. Comparisons between the present calculated energy levels as well as oscillator strengths and both experimental and theoretical data have been performed. Our results show good agreement with earlier works, and they might be useful in thermonuclear fusion research and astrophysical applications.     

Theoretical transition probabilities, oscillator strengths, and radiative lifetimes of levels in Pb IV

Transition probabilities and oscillator strengths of 176 spectral lines with astrophysical interest arising from 5d¹⁰ns (n = 7,8), 5d¹⁰np (n = 6,7), 5d¹⁰nd (n = 6,7), 5d¹⁰5f, 5d¹⁰5g, 5d¹⁰nh (n =  6,7,8), 5d⁹6s², and 5d⁹6s6p configurations, and radiative lifetimes for 43 levels of Pb IV, have been calculated. These values were obtained in intermediate coupling (IC) and using relativistic Hartree-Fock calculations including core-polarization effects. For the IC calculations, we use the standard method of least-square fitting from experimental energy levels by means of the Cowan computer code. The inclusion in these calculations of the 5d¹⁰7p and 5d¹⁰5f configurations has facilitated a complete assignment of the energy levels in the Pb IV. Transition probabilities, oscillator strengths, and radiative lifetimes obtained are generally in good agreement with the experimental data.     

Fine-structure calculations of energy levels, oscillator strengths, and transition probabilities for sodium-like ions (Co XVII-Kr XXVI)

We have calculated fine-structure energy levels, oscillator strengths and transition probabilities for transitions among the terms belonging to the 1s²2s²2p⁶ns (²S), 1s²2s²2p⁶np (²P), 1s²2s²2p⁶nd (²D) (n = 3, 4, 5), and 1s²2s²2p⁶nf (²F) (n = 4, 5) configurations. The calculations are based upon the general configuration-interaction code CIV3 of Hibbert which uses orthonormal orbitals of radial functions expressed as superpositions of normalized Slater-type orbitals. Our calculated values are compared with experimental and other theoretical results where a satisfactory agreement is found. We also report on some unpublished energy values and oscillator strengths.

Lifetimes are also presented for all excited levels of these three ions. We have compared our results with the results available in the literature and the accuracy of the data is assessed. We predict new energy levels, oscillator strengths, and transition probabilities where no other theoretical or experimental results are available, which will form the basis for future experimental work.     

Electric quadrupole transition probabilities for atomic lithium

Electric quadrupole transition probabilities for atomic lithium have been calculated using the weakest bound electron potential model theory (WBEPMT). We have employed numerical non-relativistic Hartree–Fock wavefunctions for expectation values of radii and the necessary energy values have been taken from the compilation at NIST. The results obtained with the present method agree very well with the Coulomb approximation results given by Caves (1975). Moreover, electric quadrupole transition probability values not existing in the literature for some highly excited levels have been obtained using the WBEPMT.

Franck-Condon factors, transition probabilities, and radiative lifetimes for hydrogen molecules and their isotopomeres

A systematic fundamental molecular database for all isotopomeres of the hydrogen molecule (H₂, D₂, T₂, HD, HT, DT) is calculated on the basis of the latest Born-Oppenheimer potential curves and the latest electronic dipole transition moments of hydrogen molecules. Vibrational eigenvalues, Franck-Condon factors, and vibrationally resolved transition probabilities are presented for electronic transitions in each multiplet system up to principal quantum number n = 4. Radiative lifetimes of the vibrational levels in the electronically excited states are obtained from the summation over the optically allowed transitions. In a similar manner, effective transition probabilities and effective radiative lifetimes of electronically excited states are determined assuming that only the lowest vibrational level in the ground state is populated, i.e. the data are directly applicable to molecular gases. Differences between the isotopomeres are discussed briefly.
