Electric dipole polarizability of group-IIIA ions using PRCC: Large correlation effects from nonlinear terms
Abstract
We compute the ground-state electric dipole polarizability of group-IIIA ions using the perturbed relativistic coupled-cluster (PRCC) theory. To account for the relativistic effects and QED corrections, we use the Dirac-Coulomb-Breit Hamiltonian with the corrections from the Uehling potential and the self-energy. The effects of triple excitations are considered perturbatively in the PRCC. Our PRCC results for are good in agreement with the previous theoretical results for all the ions. From our computations we find that the nonlinear terms in PRCC have significant contributions and must be included to obtain the accurate value of for group-IIIA ions. For the correction from the Breit interaction, we find that it is largest for Al and decreases as we go towards the heavier ions. The corrections from the vacuum polarization and the self-energy increase from lighter to heavier ions.
