All-order calculations of the energy levels of heavy elements Indium (In) and Tin (Sn)

Tóm tắt

The energy levels of the heavy elements In, Sn⁺ and Sn are presented in this article. Dominating corrections beyond the relativistic Hartree-Fock method are included to all orders in the Coulomb interaction using the Feynman diagram technique and the correlation potential method. The configuration interaction technique is combined with the many-body perturbation theory to construct the many-electron wave function for valence electrons and to include core-valence correlations. The good agreement of the results of our calculation with experiment data illustrates the power of the method.
