Relativistic all-order calculations of Th, Th$^{+}$ and Th$^{2+}$ atomic properties
Abstract
Excitation energies, term designations, and -factors of Th, Th and Th are determined using a relativistic hybrid configuration interaction (CI) + all-order approach that combines configuration interaction and linearized coupled-cluster methods. The results are compared with other theory and experiment where available. We find some "vanishing" -factors, similar to those known in lanthanide spectra. Reduced matrix elements, oscillator strengths, transition rates, and lifetimes are determined for Th. To estimate the uncertainties of our results, we compared our values with the available experimental lifetimes for higher , , , and levels of Th. These calculations provide a benchmark test of the CI+all-order method for heavy systems with several valence electrons and yield recommended values for transition rates and lifetimes of Th.
