Partition function and thermodynamic quantities with atomic data of Ag XLIV

Abstract

In this work, the atomic parameters of Ag XLIV (Be-like Ag) are examined and evaluated by implementing the GRASP2K package with the multi-configuration Dirac–Hartree–Fock (MCDHF) method for the calculation of wave-functions. We have listed fine structure energy levels of the lowest 170 levels with radiative data for multipole moments, such as electric dipole (E1), electric quadrupole (E2), magnetic dipole (M1), and magnetic quadrupole (M2) transitions, that lie in the region of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft X-ray (SXR) for Ag XLIV from the ground state within the lowest 170 levels. We have compared our GRASP2K and FAC results with theoretical results available in the literature for some levels. Additionally, we have also calculated partition function and thermodynamic quantities for temperature ranges from 104 to 107 K. We believe that our presented details and data may be beneficial not only in plasma modeling but also in imaging of nanostructure as well as in medicine, semiconductors, and EUV and SXR laser applications.
