A theoretical survey of 4<i>s</i>-4<i>p</i>and 4<i>p</i>-4<i>d</i>transitions in nickel-like ions through Sn XXIII

Abstract

The predictions of 4s-4p and 4p-4d transitions derived from Slater-Condon type calculations of 3d9 4s, −4p and −4d configurations in the sequence Zn III-Se VII have been recently confirmed experimentally through Mo XV. These new data are used here to refine the predictions in the sequence Mo XV-Sn XXIII. The radial parameters involved in the three configurations are determined in generalized least-squares fits using all known levels in the sequence.
