Energies, radial expectation values, hyperfine structures of the ground state and highly excited states for C and O2+

Abstract

The Rayleigh–Ritz variational method with multiconfiguration interaction wave functions is used to calculate energies, radiative transitions and radial expectation values of the [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] ground state and the [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] highly excited states of C and [Formula: see text]. Hyperfine structure parameters and magnetic coupling constants of these states are also calculated in this work. The present calculations agree well with theoretical and experimental values available in the literature. Other data not reported in the literature are expected to offer valuable benchmarks for future research.
