Fock-space relativistic coupled-cluster calculations of two-valence atoms

Abstract

We have developed an all-particle Fock-space relativistic coupled-cluster method for two-valence atomic systems. We then describe a scheme to employ the coupled-cluster wave function to calculate atomic properties. Based on these developments we calculate the excitation energies, magnetic hyperfine structure constants, and electric dipole matrix elements of Sr, Ba, and Yb. Furthermore, we calculate the electric quadrupole hyperfine structure constants and the electric dipole matrix elements of ${\mathrm{Sr}}^{+}$, ${\mathrm{Ba}}^{+}$, and ${\mathrm{Yb}}^{+}$. For these we use the one-valence coupled-cluster wave functions obtained as an intermediate in the two-valence calculations. We also calculate the magnetic dipole hyperfine structure constants of ${\mathrm{Yb}}^{+}$.
