Electric dipole transitions between low-lying levels in doubly ionized krypton, xenon, and radon

Abstract

Using the general-purpose relativistic atomic structure package (GRASP) based on a fully relativistic multiconfiguration Dirac–Fock (MCDF) method, the transition parameters, such as transition rates (probabilities), oscillator strengths, and line strengths for the electric dipole transitions between low-lying levels are evaluated for doubly ionized krypton, xenon, and radon. Breit interactions for relativistic effects and quantum electrodynamical (QED) contributions besides valence and valence–core correlation effects are taken into account in calculations. We compare the results obtained with the available data in the literature and discuss them, when possible.
