We have reported a relativistic multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock calculation including Breit and quantum electrodynamic contributions on the level structure of atomic actinium, Ac I (Z = 89). The computations have been carried out for the low 45 even and 60 odd-parity levels, and the electric dipole transition parameters (wavelengths, oscillator strengths and transition probabilities) for some transitions between these levels. Comparison has been also made with other results in available literature.
We have calculated the energies of some low-lying levels (6d7s 2 , 6d 2 7s, 6d7s7p and 6d 2 7p) and electric dipole transition parameters (wavelengths, oscillator strengths and transition probabilities) between them for neutral actinium (Z = 89). In the calculations, the correlation and relativistic effects are considered by multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock method within the framework Breit-Pauli Hamiltonian. The results obtained are compared with the available experimental and theoretical works in the literature.
Hydrogen-like ions with high Z present unique opportunities to promote the understanding of atomic structure. On the other hand, determining the atomic structure of hydrogen-like atoms provides us the test of relativistic effects as well as accurate values of the spectral characteristics required for many applications. For this reason we have calculated level energies of hydrogen like thorium (Th89+, Z = 90) with both multiconfiguration Hartree–Fock (MCHF) and multiconfiguration Dirac–Fock (MCDF) methods. These calculations have contained the Breit–Pauli relativistic corrections in MCHF calculation and quantum electrodynamics effects in MCDF calculations besides electron correlations. The wavelengths, λ, weighted oscillator strengths, gf-value, and transition probabilities, Aki, have been also represented for allowed (E1) and forbidden (E2 and M1) transitions. We have compared our results with only theoretical work results because there is no available experimental data for Th89+.
