Oscillator strengths for the alkali group of elements have been computed through the quantum defect orbital (QDO) formalism. Three forms of the dipole transition moment have been employed, two of them accounting for core–valence polarization. Clear improvement is obtained over the nonpolarized calculations for the lighter elements, whereas for K, Rb, and Cs, the additional inclusion of spin–orbit effects is shown to be required.

The quantum defect orbital (QDO) method, with the use of a core polarization-corrected dipole transition operator, was employed to determine oscillator strengths for potassium and some of its isoelectronic ions (CaII–CrVI). The inclusion of core-valence polarization effects leads to a general improvement of the QDO f values. Systematic trends of individual oscillator strengths along the isoelectronic sequence are also shown in a graphical form.

The quantum defect orbital method, including core-polarization effects through an effective dipole-moment transition operator, has been followed to calculate oscillator strengths involving the sharp and diffuse series in the alkali atoms. Comparisons are made among various theoretical and experimental results and those predicted here. It is shown that the formalism adequately describes transitions in subordinate series of the alkali atoms.
