Vibrational transition probabilities,\bar r-centroids and morse PE-curves for SiS

Vibrational transition probabilities-namely, Franck-Condon factors and -centroids-have been evaluated using an approximate analytical method for theD-X system of SiS. Morse potential energy curves forD ¹ andX ¹⁺ states of SiS have been constructed using the latest spectroscopic data. The value of -centroids for the band have been found to decrease linearly with the corresponding wavelength.     

Experimental and theoretical transition probabilities in singly ionized gold

Absolute transition probabilities have been measured for lines originating from the 5d⁹6d and 5d⁹7s electronic configurations in the spectrum of singly ionized gold (Au  ii ). The laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy has been applied to free gold atoms and ions produced by laser ablation. Absolute transition probabilities have been determined using the branching fraction and the Boltzmann plot methods. Theoretical branching fractions as well as radiative lifetime values have also been obtained by a relativistic Hartree–Fock method taking core polarization and configuration interaction effects into account. The new results are compared with previous results when available.     

Franck-Condon factors and r-centroids for certain band systems pf astrophysical molecule BeF

The Franck-Condon factors and r-centroids, which are very closely related to vibrational transition probabilities, have been evaluated by the more reliable numerical integration procedure for the bands of B ² Σ⁺ - X ² Σ⁺, C ²Σ⁺ - X ² Σ⁺ andC ² Σ⁺ - A ² Π_r systems of the astrophysical molecule BeF, using a suitable potential. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Reduced transition probabilities for 4~He radiative capture reactions at astrophysical energies

The reduced transition probabilities from an electric quadrupole B(E2) and reduced transition probabilities from a magnetic dipole B(M1) between the ground state and the first excited state have been calculated for the3He(α,γ)7Be,8Be(α,γ)12C and12C(α,γ)16O radiative capture reactions with the M3Y potential.These reactions are important in stellar evolution.The calculated B(M1) and B(E2) for7Be nuclei are found to be 1.082×10-3e2fm2and 1.921 e2fm4from transitions 3/2-to 1/2-,respectively.The obtained values for reduced transition probabilities B(E2) for the12C and16O nuclei from transitions 0+to 2+are 12.54 e2fm4and 14.18 e2fm4,respectively.The results are in satisfactory agreement with available experimental data.     

Radiative lifetimes and transition probabilities in Hf I and Hf III

Radiative lifetimes of nine odd levels in Hf III (5d6p z³P_0,1, z¹D₂, z³D_1,2,3, z³F_2,3,4) and of two odd levels in Hf I (5d6s²6p z³D_2,3) have been determined using Time-Resolved Laser-Induced Fluorescence. The investigated levels in Hf I were excited in a single-step process from the ground term (5d²6s² a³F), whereas in Hf III we started from either the ground term 5d² a³F or the low-lying 5d6s a³D term. For all of the investigated levels, the lifetimes have been measured for the first time. A multiconfiguration relativistic Hartree–Fock method, including core-polarization effects, has been used to compute radiative lifetimes of 15 Hf III levels, including those measured in this work. Transition probabilities for 55 transitions in Hf III are also given.

Calculation of the structure and transition probabilities of low energy levels of Fe and Fe

We use analytical wave functions in intermediate coupling to make a complete relativistic calculation of the structure and transition probabilities for the n = 1, 2, 3 states of Fe⁺²⁴.

Measurement of radiative lifetimes and determination of transition probabilities of astrophysical interest in Ho iii

Lifetimes of six levels belonging to the 4f¹⁰6p configuration of Ho  iii have been measured for the first time using the time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence method. They are compared with multiconfigurational pseudo-relativistic Hartree–Fock calculations. A very good agreement is found. Using the experimental lifetimes and theoretical branching fractions, a first set of transition probabilities of astrophysical interest has been obtained for this ion.     

Investigation of the effects of expectation values for radii on the determination of transition probabilities using WBEPM theory

Transition probabilities for some excited s-p and p-s transition arrays of neutral nitrogen have been calculated using the weakest bound electron potential model theory (WBEPMT) for the investigation of effects of expectation values of radii.We have used both numerical non-relativistic Hartree-Fock (NRHF) wave functions and numerical Coulomb approximation (NCA) wave functions to calculate expectation values of radii. The transition probability results obtained using the parameters determined with two different wave functions agree well with each other and accepted values taken from NIST for low values of transition probability. However, the NRHF wave functions present better results for p-s transitions, while NCA wave functions are better in s-p transitions for large values of transition probability.     

A proposed correction to the solar abundances of carbon and oxygen utilizing new and accurate theoretical forbidden transition probabilities

Previously published solar abundances of oxygen and carbon can be corrected to be logN(O) = 8.93 and logN(C) = 8.60 on the hydrogen log-scale when new accurate forbidden electric quadrupole transition probabilities A _Q(s^–1) are used. Such A _Q's, based on the new atomic structure and electron correlation theory, developed recently by Sinanolu and coworkers, are reported for the (¹ S ₀-¹ D ₂) lines of [C i], [N ii, [O i] and [O iii] and the (² P-² D) lines of [N i] and [O ii]. The available experimental values are also given for comparison.Work supported by Grant No. GP-29471 from the U.S. National Science Foundation.     

Transition probabilities for N IV,O V and O VI

Dipole lengths and dipole velocities have been determined for a series of transitions in N IV, O V and O VI. Some of these transitions are of astrophysical interest and the remainder were computed to give a more complete picture of the transitions in the respective ions. With the dipole length and dipole velocity known the line strengths and, therefore, the transition probabilities can be readily obtained. Agreement between dipole length and dipole velocity has been obtained in most cases.
