Lifetimes, oscillator strengths, and transition probabilities for Ce IV

Abstract

The lifetimes for the levels of 5p6nf (n = 5–30), 5p6np (n = 6–30), 5p6nd (n = 5–30), 5p6ng (n = 5–30), and 5p6ns (n = 7–30) configurations and the transition parameters for the electric dipole transitions between these levels have been calculated using the relativistic Hartree–Fock (HFR) method for triply ionized cerium (Ce IV, Z = 58). We have compared the results with the previously reported available calculations and experiments in the literature. Moreover, some new transition probabilities, oscillator strengths, and lifetime values for highly excited levels in Ce IV, not appearing in databases, have been obtained using this method.
