We report an extensive and elaborate theoretical study of atomic data for Cs XXV by using multi-configuration Dirac–Fock method and calculated energy levels for the lowest 110 fine structure levels. We have presented the radiative data for electric and magnetic dipole (E1, M1) and quadrupole (E2, M2) transitions among lowest 110 levels. We have made comparisons of our calculated excitation energies with theoretically calculated and experimentally observed energy levels. We have studied the effect of correlation by introducing more configurations in our calculations. We have also computed energy levels by performing similar relativistic distorted wave calculations using Flexible Atomic Code. Additionally, we have also provided new atomic data for Cs XXV and identified extreme ultraviolet and soft X-ray spectral lines with gA spectra for E1 and M2 transitions, which are not published elsewhere in the literature. We believe that our results may be beneficial in fusion plasma research and applications.

We present comprehensive and elaborate study of W LVI (K-likeW55+) by using multi-configuration Dirac-Fock method (MCDF). We have included relativistic corrections, QED (Quantum electrodynamics) and Breit corrections in our computation. We have reported energy levels and radiative data for multipole transitions i.e. electric dipole (E1), electric quadrupole (E2), magnetic dipole (M1) and magnetic quadrupole (M2) within lowest 142 fine structure levels and predicted soft x-ray transition (SXR) and extreme ultraviolet transitions (EUV) from higher excited states to ground state. We have compared our calculated data with energy levels compiled by NIST and other available results in literature and small discrepancies found with them are discussed. Since only few lowest levels are only available in the literature, therefore for checking excitation energies of higher excited states, we have performed same calculations with distorted wave method. Furthermore, we have also provided relative population for first five excited states, partition function and thermodynamic quantities for both W LVI and studied their variations with temperature. We believe that our reported new atomic data of W LVI may be useful in identification and analysis of spectral lines from various astrophysical and fusion plasma sources and also beneficial in plasma modeling.

In the present work, we provide a most extensive and detailed study of highly ionized Cu-like ions and diagnose extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft X-ray (SXR) transitions with N-shell electron excitation to M-shell and higher shells. We have determined energy levels and lifetimes for lowest 27 fine-structure levels by adopting multiconfiguration Dirac–Fock (MCDF) with the inclusion of quantum electrodynamics (QED) as well as Breit corrections as a first-order perturbation theory. We have also reported complete radiative data for strong electric dipole transitions within lowest 27 levels. We have compared our calculated results with theoretically calculated and experimentally measured results available in the literature, to measure the credibility and genuineness of our results, and achieve good agreement. Further, because of insufficiency of adequate and complete atomic data for higher levels of highly ionized Cu-like ions in the literature, we have performed other equivalent parallel calculations by implementing fully relativistic distorted wave flexible atomic code (FAC) to ensure the accuracy of our results. Additionally, we have also presented transition wavelengths of Nα transitions of high-Z Cu-like ions by using Moseley’s law. We believe that the large amount of atomic data presented in this paper may be useful in fusion and astrophysical plasma and in several applications, especially in lithography and cell biology.

In this work, we provide a detailed and elaborate theoretical study of atomic data along with plasma parameters for Kr XXIV. We have computed energy levels, lifetimes, and wave-function compositions for the lowest 148 fine-structure levels by implementing the multi-configuration Dirac–Fock method with the addition of quantum electrodynamics as well as Breit corrections. We have also given the radiative data among 148 levels for electric dipole (E1) transition, which lie in the extreme ultraviolet range. We have compared our calculated results with NIST and other theoretical results available in the literature and attain a good agreement. Because of the unavailability of sufficient and complete data for higher excited levels for Kr XXIV in the literature, a similar calculation has also been compiled using fully relativistic flexible atomic code (FAC) to access the credibility and integrity of our results. On the other hand, we have also presented the line intensity ratio and plasma parameters for optically thin plasma, which are not published anywhere in the literature, and we believe that our presented results may be advantageous in plasma modeling and astrophysical and fusion plasma research applications.

AbstractComplete and consistent atomic data, including excitation energies, lifetimes, wavelengths, hyperfine structures, Landé gJ-factors and E1, E2, M1, and M2 line strengths, oscillator strengths, transitions rates are reported for the low-lying 41 levels of Mo XXVIII, belonging to the n = 3 states (1s22s22p6)3s23p3, 3s3p4, and 3s23p23d. High-accuracy calculations have been performed as benchmarks in the request for accurate treatments of relativity, electron correlation, and quantum electrodynamic (QED) effects in multi-valence-electron systems. Comparisons are made between the present two data sets, as well as with the experimental results and the experimentally compiled energy values of the National Institute for Standards and Technology wherever available. The calculated values including core-valence correction are found to be in a good agreement with other theoretical and experimental values. The present results are accurate enough for identification and deblending of emission lines involving the n = 3 levels, and are also useful for modeling and diagnosing plasmas.

We report the new extensive calculations for collision strengths and effective collision strengths of Electron impact excitation of fine structure transitions in F-like W using fully relativistic Dirac Atomic R-matrix Code. We have included all 113 target states which belong to 2s22p5, 2s2p6, 2s22p43l, 2s2p53l, 2p63l configurations. The convergence of reported collision strengths is tested by performingthe same calculations for lesser number of target states which verify the individuality of our results.Effective collision strengthsover a wide temperature range 104-107K are computed. Further, to assess the accuracy and authenticity of our target states energies, a similar parallel calculation has also been performed using a fully relativistic distorted wave (RDW) method and a comparison of energy levels with NIST, FAC and other experimental observations has been made. We believe that the collision strength results for all forbidden transitions within the 113 fine structure levels, presented in this paper will play a substantial role in fusion plasma diagnostics.

An extended calculation of energy levels, radiative rates, and lifetimes are reported for sodium-like chromium. Extensive configuration interaction calculations have been performed using general-purpose relativistic atomic structure package (GRASP). The radiative rates, oscillator strengths, and line strengths are listed for all electric dipole (E1) transitions. However, for magnetic dipole (M1), electric quadrupole (E2), and magnetic quadrupole (M2) transitions, only radiative rates are listed. The importance of valence–valence (VV) and core–valence (CV) correlation effects in the calculation of energy levels have also been shown. To confirm the accuracy of the present results for energy levels by GRASP, independent calculations have been performed by using Flexible Atomic Code (FAC) and configuration interaction method (CIV3). The accuracy of the present levels, wavelengths, transition rates, and lifetimes are assessed by comparing them to available experimental and other theoretical results. We believe that our extensive results may be beneficial in fusion plasma research and astrophysical investigations and applications.

Context. Obtaining precise stellar and wind properties and abundance patterns of massive stars is crucial to understanding their nature and interactions with their environments, as well as to constrain their evolutionary paths and end-products. Aims. To enable higher versatility and precision of the complete ultraviolet (UV) to optical range, we improve our high-performance, unified, NLTE atmosphere and spectrum synthesis code FASTWIND. Moreover, we aim to obtain an advanced description of X-ray emission from wind-embedded shocks, consistent with alternative modeling approaches. Methods. We include a detailed comoving frame radiative transfer for the essential frequency range, but still apply methods that enable low turnaround times. We compare the results of our updated computations with those from the alternative code CMFGEN, and our previous FASTWIND version, for a representative model grid. Results. In most cases, our new results agree excellently with those from CMFGEN, both regarding the total radiative acceleration, strategic optical lines, and the UV-range. Moderate differences concern He II λλ4200-4541 and N V λλ4603-4619. The agreement regarding N III λλ4634−4640−4642 has improved, though there are still certain discrepancies, mostly related to line overlap effects in the extreme ultraviolet, depending on abundances and micro-turbulence. In the UV range of our coolest models, we find differences in the predicted depression of the pseudo-continuum, which is most pronounced around Lyα. This depression is larger in CMFGEN, and related to different Fe IV atomic data. The comparison between our new and previous FASTWIND version reveals an almost perfect agreement, except again for N V λλ4603-4619. Using an improved, depth-dependent description for the filling factors of hot, X-ray emitting material, we confirm previous analytic scaling relations with our numerical models. Conclusions. We warn against uncritically relying on transitions, which are strongly affected by direct or indirect line-overlap effects. The predicted UV-continuum depression for the coolest grid-models needs to be checked, both observationally, and regarding the underlying atomic data. Wind lines from “super-ionized” ions such as O VI can, in principle, be used to constrain the distribution of wind-embedded shocks. The new FASTWIND version v11 is now ready to be used.

Energy levels, lifetimes, and wavefunction compositions have been calculated for all levels of odd parity 3s23p5 ground configuration as well as 3s3p6 and 3s23p43d even parity excited configurations in highly charged Cl-like tungsten ion. Transition probabilities, oscillator strengths, and line strengths for E1, E2, M1, and M2 transitions have been obtained using the fully relativistic multiconfiguration Dirac–Fock (MCDF) approach including the correlations within the n = 3 complex, some n = 3 → n = 4 single and double excitations and Breit and quantum electrodynamics effects. For comparison from our calculated energy levels, we have also calculated the energy levels by using the fully relativistic flexible atomic code (FAC). The validity of the method is assessed by comparison with previously published experimental and theoretical data. The excellent agreement observed between our calculated results and those obtained using different approaches confirm the accuracy of our results. Additionally, we have predicted some new atomic data for W57+ that are not available so far and may be important for plasma diagnostic analysis in fusion plasma.

Energy levels, wavefunction compositions, and lifetimes are computed for all levels of 4s24p5, 4s24p44d, and 4s4p6 configurations in Br-like ions (Z = 47–50). We use the multiconfigurational Dirac–Fock method to generate the wavefunctions. We also present the transition wavelengths, oscillator strengths, transition probabilities, and line strengths for the electric dipole (E1) transition from the ground state configuration. We compare our calculated results with the available data in the literature and good agreement is obtained, which confirms the quality of our results. Moreover, we predict some new atomic data that have not been available so far and may be important for plasma diagnostic analysis in fusion plasma.
