Energies, wavelengths, lifetimes, E1, M1, E2, and M2 transitions rates for the sulfur isoelectronic sequence Fe XI, Nb XXVI–In XXXIV

Abstract

Energies, wavelengths, lifetimes, oscillator strengths, electric dipole (E1), electric quadrupole (E2), magnetic dipole (M1), and magnetic quadrupole (M2) transition rates among the 42 fine structure levels belonging to the 3s23p4, 3s23p33d, and 3s3p5 configurations for S-like Fe and S-like ions with 41 ≤ Z ≤ 49 are calculated using the fully relativistic multiconfiguration Dirac–Fock (MCDF) method. In the calculations, contributions from correlations within the n = 6 complex, Breit interaction, and quantum electrodynamics effects are included. Detailed comparisons are made between the present results and the available experimental and other theoretical data. We found that our calculated energy levels generally agree within ≤0.5% with the experimentally compiled results, and the transition rates agree within ≤12% with other theoretical results for a majority of the transitions. These accurate theoretical data should be beneficial in fusion plasma research and astrophysical applications.
