The energy levels and radiative transition probabilities for electric quadrupole and magnetic dipole transitions among the levels of the ground configuration, [Kr]4d104f4, of W24+

Abstract

Large-scale multiconfiguration Hartree–Fock and Dirac–Fock calculations have been performed for the ground configuration, [Kr]4d104f4, energy levels of the W24+ ion. The relativistic corrections were taken into account in the quasirelativistic Breit–Pauli and fully relativistic Breit (taking into account QED effects) approximations. The role of correlation, relativistic, and QED corrections is discussed. Line strengths, oscillator strengths, and transition probabilities in the Coulomb and Babushkin gauges are presented for the electric quadrupole (E2) transitions among these levels. The magnetic dipole transitions are also investigated. Dependence of the E2 transition probabilities on the gauge condition of the electromagnetic field potential is studied as well.
