Correlation and relativistic effects for the 4f-nl and 5p-nl multipole transitions in Er-like tungsten
- Physics Department, University of Nevada, Reno, Nevada 89557 (United States)
Wavelengths, transition rates, and line strengths are calculated for the multipole (E1, M1, E2, M2, E3, and M3) transitions between the excited [Cd]4f{sup 13}5p{sup 6}nl, [Cd]4f{sup 14}5p{sup 5}nl configurations and the ground [Cd]4f{sup 14}5p{sup 6} state in Er-like W{sup 6+} ion ([Cd]=[Kr]4d{sup 10}5s{sup 2}). In particular, the relativistic many-body perturbation theory (RMBPT), including the Breit interaction, is used to evaluate energies and transition rates for multipole transitions in this hole-particle system. This method is based on the relativistic many-body perturbation theory that agrees with multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) calculations in lowest order, and includes all second-order correlation corrections and corrections from negative-energy states. The calculations start from a [Cd]4f{sup 14}5p{sup 6} Dirac-Fock (DF) potential. First-order perturbation theory is used to obtain intermediate-coupling coefficients, and second-order RMBPT is used to determine the multipole matrix elements needed for calculations of other atomic properties such as line strengths and transition rates. In addition, core multipole polarizability is evaluated in random-phase and DF approximations. The comparison with available data is demonstrated.
