Relativistic many-body calculations of multipole (E1, M1, E2, M2, E3, M3) transition wavelengths and rates between 3l-14l' excited and ground states in nickel-like ions
Wavelengths, transition rates, and line strengths are calculated for the 76 possible multipole (E1, M1, E2, M2, E3, M3) transitions between the excited 3s{sup 2}3p{sup 6}3d{sup 9}4l, 3s{sup 2}3p{sup 5}3d{sup 10}4l, and 3s3p{sup 6}3d{sup 10}4l and the ground 3s{sup 2}3p{sup 6}3d{sup 10} states in Ni-like ions with the nuclear charges ranging from Z = 30 to 100. Relativistic many-body perturbation theory (RMBPT), including the Breit interaction, is used to evaluate energies and transition rates for multipole transitions in hole-particle systems. This method is based on relativistic many-body perturbation theory, agrees with MCDF calculations in lowest-order, includes all second-order correlation corrections and includes corrections from negative energy states. The calculations start from a 1s{sup 2}2s{sup 2}2p{sup 6}3s{sup 2}3p{sup 6}3d{sup 10} Dirac-Fock potential. First-order perturbation theory is used to obtain intermediate-coupling coefficients, and second-order RMBPT is used to determine the matrix elements. The contributions from negative-energy states are included in the second-order E1, M1, E2, M2, E3, and M3 matrix elements. The resulting transition energies and transition rates are compared with experimental values and with results from other recent calculations. As a result, we present wavelengths and transition rates data for the selected transitions that includes the 76 possible multipole (E1, M1, E2, M2, E3, M3) transitions between the excited 3s{sup 2}3p{sup 6}3d{sup 9}4l, 3s{sup 2}3p{sup 5}3d{sup 10}4l, and 3s3p{sup 6}3d{sup 10}4l states and the ground 3s{sup 2}3p{sup 6}3d{sup 10} state in Ni-like ions. Trends of the line strengths for the 76 multipole transitions and oscillator strengths for the 13 E1 transitions as function of Z are illustrated graphically. The Z dependence of the energy splitting for all triplet terms of the 3s{sup 2}3p{sup 6}3d{sup 9}4l, 3s{sup 2}3p{sup 5}3d{sup 10}4l, and 3s3p{sup 6}3d{sup 10}4l configurations are shown in the range of Z = 30-100.
