We performed relativistic benchmark calculations of the polarizabilities (α) of element 119 and its lighter homologs, Cs and Ra, and their cations. Besides being of theoretical interest in the context of atomic studies of heavy and superheavy elements, these properties are also important for prediction of adsorption enthalpy (ΔH ads ) of the atoms on inert surfaces, which is required to guarantee the transport of the newly produced element from the target chamber to the chemistry set up.The polarizabilities were calculated using the finite field approach [1]. The energy calculations were performed within the Dirac-Coulomb (DC) Hamiltonian,where α and β are the four dimensional Dirac matrices. The nuclear potential V nuc takes into account the finite size of the nucleus, modelled by a Gaussian distribution.Electron correlation was taken into account at the relativistic coupled cluster level, including single, double, and perturbative triple excitations (RCCSD(T)). The uncontracted Faegri basis set [2] was used for the three atoms and extended to convergence with respect to the calculated polarizabilities. The final basis sets were 26s23p16d8f4g for Cs, 26s23p18d13f6g2h for Fr, and 29s26p20d15f6g2h for element 119. All the calculations were performed using the DIRAC08 computational package [3].Based on the calculated polarizabilities and other atomic properties and using a physisorption model given by Eq. (6)
