Configuration interaction (CI) effects can greatly influence the way in which extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft X-ray (SXR) spectra of heavier ions are dominated by emission from unresolved transition arrays (UTAs), the most intense of which originate from ∆n = 0, 4p 6 4d N+1 −4p 5 4d N+2 +4p 6 4d N 4f 1 transitions. Changing the principle quantum number n, from 4 to 5, changes the origin of the UTA from ∆n = 0, 4p 6 4d N+1 −4p 5 4d N+2 +4p 6 4d N 4f 1 to ∆n = 0, 5p 6 5d N+1 −5p 5 5d N+2 +5p 6 5d N 5f 1 transitions. This causes unexpected and significant changes in the impact of configuration interaction from that observed in the heavily studied n = 4−n = 4 arrays. In this study, the properties of n = 5−n = 5 arrays have been investigated theoretically with the aid of Hartree-Fock with configuration interaction (HFCI) calculations. In addition to predicting the wavelengths and spectral details of the anticipated features, the calculations show that the effects of configuration interaction are quite different for the two different families of ∆n = 0 transitions, a conclusion which is reinforced by comparison with experimental results.
