Relativistic atomic structure calculations of KIX with plasma parameters

Abstract

Systematic calculations for energy levels, lifetimes, and radiative data for the KIX are reported, including oscillator strengths, transition wavelengths, line strengths, and radiative rates of electric dipole (E1) transition, electric quadrupole (E2) transition, magnetic dipole (M1) transition, and magnetic quadrupole (M2) transition, using GRASP. Quantum electrodynamics and Breit correction have been considered in our calculations. The importance and effect of valence valence and core valence correlations on the excitation energies have been discussed in graphical and tabular forms. Analogous calculations using flexible atomic code (FAC) and the large-scale configuration interaction technique have also been done to confirm the accuracy of energy levels. The calculated results are in close agreement with NIST compiled data and other available results. The influence of plasma temperature (2 × 106–1 × 1010 K) on the line intensity ratio with the number of electron density has been studied for the hot dense plasma (HDP) graph for KIX. Our reported results will be valuable or beneficial for the characterization of HDP, astrophysical plasmas, and plasma modeling.
