MCDF calculations for the lowest excited states in the Zn-like sequence
Author
Summary, in English
We report on large scale ab initio calculation for the 4s(2) S-1(0)-4s4p P-1,3(0,1,2) transitions in the zinc-like sequence, using the multiconfiguration Dirac Fock ( MCDF) method. Our attention is focused on the spin-forbidden transition 4s(2) S-1(0)-4s4p P-3(1) and the hyperfine- induced ( HPF) transition 4s(2) S-1(0)-4s4p P-3(0) for ions between Z = 30 ( Zn) and Z = 47 ( Ag). Our results provide a base for settling the existing conflicts in previous experimental and theoretical data for these transitions. We also report on rates of forbidden lines within the 4s4p P-3 term and between this term and the ground state. Accurate values for the hyperfine constants, showing excellent agreement with experimental values where available, are also given. We also give transition energies and lifetimes for the 4s2 S-1(0)-4s4p P-1(1) resonance line.
