Theoretical determination of spectral lines for the Zn atom and the ZnH molecule

Abstract

Theoretical calculations of the low lying excited states of the Zn atom and ZnH molecule are reported. An averaged relativistic effective core potential is used for the 1s2 2s2 2p4 3d10 electrons of Zn and the polarization and intrashell correlation effects are treated with a semiempirical core polarization potential. Spin–orbit splittings are incorporated into the correlated electronic states.
