Relativistic Configuration Interaction Calculations for the K-Alpha X-Ray of Zinc

Abstract

Abstract:Relativistic configuration interaction calculations with the inclusion of Breit interaction, quantum electrodynamics and finite nuclear mass corrections have been carried out in the extended optimal level scheme using multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock wavefunctions on the wavelengths, electric dipole transition rates and oscillator strengths of Zinc. Through the use of the active space method, the calculated values are compared with the other available data on He-like and Be-like zinc and are found to be in very good agreement with them. In this paper, we give accurate transition properties from Zn XXI through Zn XXIX. These data provide reference value for level lifetime, charge state distribution and average charge of zinc plasmas.
