Fine-structure energy levels and radiative rates in Al-like molybdenum

Abstract

Based on relativistic wavefunctions from multiconfigurational Dirac–Hartree–Fock and configuration interaction calculations, energy levels, radiative rates, and wavelengths are evaluated for all levels of 3s23p, 3s3p2, 3s23d, 3p3, 3s3p3d, 3p23d, and 3s3d2 configurations of Al-like molybdenum ion (Mo XXX). Transition probabilities are reported for E1 and M2 transitions from the ground level. The valence–valence and core–valence correlation effects are accounted for in a systematic way. Breit interactions and quantum electrodynamics effects are estimated in subsequent relativistic configuration interaction calculations. Comparisons are made with the available data in the literature and good agreement has been found, which confirms the reliability of our results.
